I mentioned this in my counselor intro, but I have to reiterate: Camp Wildwood is for sale in Topanga Canyon, CA! And has been since late 2011.This camp needs LOVE! Even its sign is begging for a hug…or at the very least a couple of nails for cry eye! Honestly, I don’t know that much about Camp Wildwood, but I check often to make sure it’s still available even though I could never EVER afford it. I first saw the camp listed for upwards of 6 million bucks, but now the price has dropped to just under 4 million, so gather your…

In this week’s G&F Interview, the classic camp near Elkhorn, Wisconsin came to life by way of its flawless creator, Tereasa Surratt.

According to Dream-Catchers.org, Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. The dream catcher, when hung over or near your bed, swings freely in the air, catching the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher–slipping by the outer holes and sliding down the soft feathers, so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams don’t know the way and get tangled in the dream catcher. They perish with the first light of the new day.You can…

I love anything D.I.Y. I stumbled upon these mason jar chandeliers that would be perfect for lighting up an outdoor wedding or party. Some of these creations are more modern, while others more rustic/vintage – but all could be a great addition to a summertime celebration. Vintage Ball mason jars would be the perfect item to use in this crafting project, as they come in many different styles and colors, which make this D.I.Y very customizable. Amazing! The combination of styles in these light fixture makes me want to craft one of these for my humble little apartment! There is a great…

Summer camp has always been associated with adventure, animals, and a little danger. I grew up with fantasies of running away to some remote mountain, farm or never-ending trek through the wilderness — but almost never alone. I always imagined my dog, or cat, coming with me. The bond between animals and adventure is a strong one thanks to books and movies like Homeward Bound, My Side of the Mountain, Old Yeller, even Milo and Otis (I prefer voice-over instead of CGI talkies, FYI). It was clear to me early that animals were fearless — or at least hapless —…
