Summary/Abstract: In recent years there has been an intensification of pastoral concerns related to children and young people, starting from the level of the church hierarchy to that of the parishes. Between the activities that have been imposed we notice the national and regional ITO meetings, but also the summer camps organized at the level of the archdiocese or even the parish. A basic component of these events are the camp songs and the appropriate hymns. In this study we propose a cataloging of the songs that are used, but also possible ways of developing this repertoire. Those in charge of the musical part of these camps will consider mobilizing, engaging songs that convey an emotion, a positive mood to the participants. There will also be religious refrains, or well-known songs - hits, so that the song can be easily recognized and pleasant to perform.
