8 episodes
5 days ago
For the past 100 years, what is now known as Camp Wandawega has been many things to many people: a speakeasy, a brothel, a hideout for Chicago mobsters, a summer camp, and the site of a gruesome murder-suicide. Now, for the first time, Camp Wandawega’s stranger-than-fiction story is being shared as a six-part audio experience. Inspired by tall tales told around the campfire, American Getaway blends history, humor, mythology, and music to tell a uniquely American story. The series was created by Austin Sailsbury and Lars Hauschildt and edited by Chad Michael Snavely.

Part 6: Rescue and Renaissance

When David Hernandez and Tereasa Surratt bought the old ‘Vandavega’ campgrounds in 2004, they had no idea what they were getting into. Throughout the property, they discovered countless mysteries: trap doors, secret rooms, boxes of old photographs and letters. Before long, a century’s worth of stories began unfolding for the new ‘innkeepers’ of Camp Wandawega. For David and Tereasa, their lives were about to change forever. This episode features music by Philip Bowen, Joseph Bradshaw, and Casey Chambers.
