Packing in the dark always drives me crazy.  Thanks you guys for finding my stuff - I haven't even unpacked, I just have lots of boxes inside the door.

I think this might have worked for our camp, too bad I thought of it after: to the tune of "Yellow Submarine":

The Viking Trader Camp

In the place where I was born
Lived the men who sailed the sea
And so goes the tale of all their lives
Of when the Vikings all roamed the sea

And they sail'd toward the sun
Till they found the land of green
And they lived with all the Celts
In the Viking Trader Camp

We all live in a Viking Trader Camp,
Viking Trader Camp, Viking Trader Camp
We all live in a Viking Trader Camp,
Viking Trader Camp, Viking Trader Camp

We live the life of ease
Sailing where ev’r we find a need
And Dane geld is generous from all the kings
And we’re all the Vikings

The monks all leave when ere they spy
The dragon sails against the sky
And the maids they all like a guy
Who combs his hair and isn’t shy

So we sail upon the sea
And we stop at the land of green
And here we trade, and get the gold
