Welcome to day 4 of Wandawega Week!
Today’s post features another area of Camp Wandawega– Tent Hill.
This area of David and Tereasa’s rustic resort is home to a collection of vintage, perfectly weathered, Boy Scout tents.
These aren’t just regular ol’ tents. They’re more like canvas cabins…
After a 5 year search, David and Tereasa found a source for the vintage tents and the wood platforms they originally sat on…
They also picked up the original, vintage metal bed frames, mattresses, and tent poles that went with them…
Here’s how Tereasa describes her tent budget breakdown:
3 tents: $20 each
9 platforms: $5 each
6 vintage Boy Scout beds: $5 each
Creating your very own Boy Scout tent village: Priceless.
And speaking of Tereasa’s love affair with vintage collections- if you’d like to throw your name in the (virtual) hat for a chance to win a signed copy of Tereasa’s newly-released book, “Found, Free & Flea“, just leave us a comment on this post between now and tomorrow (Friday, August 12, 2011) at noon (Central Time)!
And don’t forget to swing by tomorrow for the final Wandawega Week post…you’re not gonna “wannamissit”!
PS- If you missed any of this week’s Wandawega posts- you can find them here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3!

Loving these posts and stories. It makes me want to grab 20 of my closest friends and go there for a long weekend.
I am completely smitten with this series. So awesome. And of course of copy of that book would be great!
Free, if it is something you love, is always exciting. It will be fun to see how someone else discovers treasures to be utilized again. It seems to be even more of a lark if you use the item in a completely different way than the original purpose. I look forward to reading this book.
Oh I would LOVE to have a copy of her book!
you had me at Tree Swing….oh swoon….Would love this book!

I love this series. It makes me want to go to Camp Wandawega. I would also love a copy of this book!
I have recently taken on building my own furniture (thanks to ana-white.com) and a friend of mine and I are opening shop soon on etsy (hoping to become a stay at home working mom in the future) with all of our own crafts we have recently come up with…. This website has inspired me in so many ways because I am redoing my house with a cottage inspired theme and trying to do it as low cost budget as I can, so I just wanted to say thank you for being so inspirational. It’s amazing how just visiting someone else’s website can make you feel better and brighter when you are stuck in a down spirit and think there is nothing else out there other than your corporate America job… 🙂 You guys are great!!!
Would love to visit this camp!
(Also would love her book!)
Thank you for this fun series!

This is all so neat to read! I’ve been following your blog for about a year now I’d say and I just LOVE everything you’ve done! When I read “Wandawega” I was like… how cool my mom lives on a Lake Wandawega… as I read further I realized you the Surratt’s Cottage is on the same lake! What a small world!
