"Camp Favorites", by "The Campers", is the first known commercial record made by Phil Ochs. It was released by Cameo Records in 1962 or 1963.

"The Campers" consist of Phil Ochs (who is not credited on the record), an unknown female vocalist, and a group of young singers, accompanied by Dick Weissman on banjo.

The tracks on "Camp Favorites" are traditional songs that children might sing at summer camp, and the record sleeve is illustrated with a group of youngsters singing around a campfire.

"Camp Favorites" was unknown among Phil Ochs fans until 2000, when David Cohen prepared his comprehensive catalog of Ochs' works ("Phil Ochs: A Bio-Bibliography", ISBN 0-313-31029-7). Michael Ochs, Ochs' brother and former manager, told Cohen that Phil had recorded a record of campfire songs but that his name was not used on the album. Nobody in the Ochs family had ever seen a copy of the album. After considerable research, Cohen was able to identify "Camp Favorites" and locate a copy.
