American Getaway: The Very True, Very Strange Story of Camp Wandawega

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.
