There are many traditional songs that are sung at Birch Rock. "Hit the Hay" is sung almost every evening, "Sunset Song" is sung after most tree talks, "Birch Rock Marching Song," "Chant of the Chesty Child," and "Semper Fidelis" are sung by lower camp in the 4th of July parade, and various songs are often sung when people need something to do. Some of them were written for Birch Rock and others that were adopted by the camp. There are a few songs that were completely forgotten up until recently. In 2005 three forgotten songs were discovered and a booklet of all of the camp songs was printed.
