Camp Wandawega | Elkhorn, Wisconsin | Tereasa Surratts American Getaway For Creatives To Gather Off Grid And Step Back In TimeEpisode Description:Its not really the place that youre going, its the stories that reveal themselves in the place that youre going. Youre fascinated by the lives and the experiences that people had before you, because youre finding this connective tissue emotionally to another generation, another decade, another era.Were in great company with Tereasa Surratt, the Founder and Owner of Camp Wandawega, who was persuaded by her husband, David, twenty years ago to save this pocket of American history tucked away in the woods of Wisconsin, and they have been restoring it ever since as a getaway for the creative community.What was once an infamous lakeside property – living many lives over time as a brothel and speakeasy, a family resort, a Catholic retreat center and summer camp – was left to be condemned until Davids childhood nostalgia got the best of him. Today, Camp Wandawega has become a retreat for creatives to gather, a maker of goods that help us explore the great outdoors, and a place to step off the grid and back in time.In this episode, Tereasa shares how a passion for preservation and a humility for the never ending work to be done, turned into a Reveille attracting other like-minded creatives to seek inspiration from and memories made in nature…First shot by @nathanmichael
