Have you ever wondered how fun it would be to own a campground? One where you can have summer camps, hold family reunions and weddings, be the spot for photo shoots, host bonfires & hayrides!!!
There is such a place in Camp Wandawega. A couple bought the campground where the husband used to go as a kid with his family. They are both successful in other businesses and bring that expertise (design & marketing) to Camp Wandawega.
Imagine decorating all of the cabins!
Designing the tees and sweatshirts for summer camp!
I don't know that I would want all that Wandawega has become. I envision more of the camp I attended for a week in the summer before 6th grade (or was it after?). I recently watched a movie on Netflix, Camp Takota, that is a great look into a summer's worth of camp.
I would take some aspects of a place in Traverse City, where Chris took me one fall weekend. Harold's Resort sits just outside of Traverse City on Spider Lake. A handful of cabins with use of canoes, firepits, bench swings. When the sun goes down, it is complete darkness. The cabins have no TVs or phones. Just you & nature.
Coordinated activities would be available, seasonally. Summer camps would have a variety of projects, friendly competitions and group meetings. Since we love Halloween, we could offer a "course" on ghost hunting techniques!!
I could hold camps for Goddesses. We would encourage fitness, meditation and enlightened spiritual groups to lead classes and seminars.
I know how much work would be involved and that it would take awhile for any real income to be generated, but it would be a labor of love, self-employment, creating and learning everyday, physically demanding. It would keep us young & vibrant, active, outdoors with fresh air!
And, of course, I would have to decorate with pinecones! Which I would find everywhere....living in the woods!
