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!
This book looks amazing, and the camp setup reminds me of the original Parent Trap, which was my childhood favorite.
My husband and I are currently renovating our own lakehouse retreat and are almost ready to decorate (sheetrock has just gone up). Would love to use this book to help decorate on a budget. Love her design style!
I love everything she has done. So cool! And the book looks cool, too.
The tents are amazing! Everything I’ve seen this week is absolutely breathtaking! This Camp is really something special and her books look fantastic!
I love that motto… “found, flea, or free.” And all their hard work has definitely paid off! What a charming little resort they’ve created!
Just love the series you are blogging right now…..would love to win a book….thanks
Every post in this series is amazing…just amazing…thanks for sharing.
Looks great!

Great series – today’s post reminded me of my first camping trip with Girl Scouts & sleeping in platform tents!
I’d love to have this book. Just the thing to get me started on my new adventure!
oh my goodness! i have loved this week. it’s been so fun looking at all the camp pictures….although i stared at the name of the camp for awhile trying to figure it out. 🙂
Hi Layla and Kevin,
I’ve been reading blog for about a month now and I just can’t get enough !!!!!! The two of you are so talented, whitty and adorable. LOVED the video about your road trip to the DYI disaster house. I gasped when I saw you stopped at the Brass Armadillo, you were just outside of Kansas City, which is where I live.
Please throw my name into the hat for a chance to win a copy of “Found, Free, Flea”.
Thanks,
Vanessa
Thanks for all of the fun!
Those are so cool! Love the cover of the book as well, would LOVE a copy!

Oh, I would love this book. I already have the Modest Cottage book.

I would love to win this book!
I want to go to summer camp at Wandawega!!! 🙂
It’s all just so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
I want to go there!
How peaceful it looks…
AMAZING!! I remember tents like that from Girl Scout camp in Wisconsin. I’m LOVING Wandawega Week.
Oh, I’d love a look inside that book! I realize that rhymes, but I’ve spent all day painting closets and am a little goofy at this point! 🙂
Somehow, these look soooo much better than the tents looked when I used to drop my son off for his week of Boy Scout camp! They are the same “Scout issued canvas tents”, but they never looked THIS good. Amazing!! AND her blog sites/websites are amazing too! Would love to have any of her books.
ooo pick me! 🙂
I would love the book. Thanks!
Oh, yes!!! I would just love that book!
Me me me!! I want a book!!!! And those tents!!
Yes count me in. Since i will never get to live there the least i could do is have the book!! Thanks.
I would LOVE a copy of her book!
I heart Wandawega Week!
I would love to win! thanks!
Count me in.
I would love to win that book! What a clever title!
I love those tents!! Is there any way to get the source information? I would love to surprise my husband with one of those for his birthday! Oh please, please share the source 🙂 and I would so enjoy winning the book for myself. Thank you for sharing the inspiring photos.
This book looks fascinating!!! thanks for the chance to win a copy!
ooh! i’d like to throw my name into the “virtual hat” – what a fabulous book!
Looking at those tents made me think of Girl Scout camp at Mitre Peak. What a blast!
I love her style and am very curious about her book. Thanks for the chance.
I can’t wait to read this book! Pick me.
I would love, love, LOVE this book!!!
I am so in love with Camp Wandawega and TENT HILL!!!

I stayed in the exact style of tents in Girl Scout camp what a fun way to fill an acreage!
Please add my name to the list 🙂
I love the tents and am going to be on the look out for something similar. I’ve also loved every post so far this week & can’t wait to read the book. Thanks so much for sharing the amazing story & photos of how the camp came to be…magical!
