Where does that song come from...?

When I was a kid, I spent some summers in a day camp. Camp Saredaca. Each morning, Monday to Friday, a bus would come around and take me to the camp. And we'd start the morning singing the Saredaca song:

Saredaca, Saredaca, Saredaca true
Saredaca, Saredaca, Saredaca true
I love the mountains
And the sky so blue
I love exploring
Through the bushes too
I love to live
And live to love
For all these wonderful things...

Saredaca, Saredaca, Saredaca true
Saredaca, Saredaca, Saredaca true...

It's almost the same tune as the Discovery Channel / xkcd tune that's been making the rounds. I wonder where that tune originates...? Until now, I've only ever known it as the Saredaca song.

The day camp near us growing up was Camp Sadaka, for Saltfleet [township] Day Camp. We never went there because it cost money and my mother thought it was dumb. We went to Playground instead.

Yeah, Saredaca stood for "Sarnia Recreational Day Camp".
