summer camp supreme

ELKHORN, WISCONSIN

Once the site of a bootleggers’ brothel, Wisconsin’s Lake Wandawega is now home to an ever-growing colony of rustic-chic cabins and domiciles scattered along its shores. Come for the peace and quiet, stay for the rope swing.

STAY: CAMP WANDAWEGA
W5453 Lake View Dr, Elkhorn, WI

What a journey. First a Prohibition era den of iniquity, then a ’50s weekend getaway, then a Catholic priest sanctuary, Wandawega is now a wacky, homely modern-day inn offering an array of oars-bedecked cabins and bunkhouses overlooking its namesake lake. They’re adorably, unabashedly old school, with the rocking chairs, pennants, radios and Kitchen Debate fridges to prove it.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4-Hour Rule: Adventure Chicago

THE ALL-NEW 2018 JEEP® WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON
FROM OUR PARTNER

No car is more synonymous with getting itself into — and out of — rocky situations than the Jeep® Wrangler. And among Jeep Wranglers, the Rubicon is the gravel-spitting, mountain-summiting king. With those iconic removable doors and top, 33-inch tires and the Rock-Trac® off-roading system, the Rubicon is prepared to crawl steeper inclines than most drivers could handle on foot. You can thank the 84.1:1 crawl ratio and a delightfully tactile six-speed manual transmission for that.

Sign up here to learn more about the All-New 2018 Jeep® Wrangler.

EAT: THE CHALET
W6904 County Rd A, Elkhorn, WI

Fresh shucked oysters, right this way. The Chalet’s the real deal: a seen-it-all purlieu with stained-glass windows, a big old fireplace and a stalwart menu of fresh fish, sandwiches and shrimp. Arrive with an appetite for eats and a couple laughs (there’s a full-sized bar ripe for chumming) and be sure to give that Alligator and Andouille Sausage starter a try.

PLAY: LAKE GENEVA WATER SPORTS
151 Wrigley Dr, Lake Geneva, WI

Yes, deep-breathing classes and serenity pools work wonders on a weekend away. But what would 12-year-old you want? An hour zipping around Lake Geneva on a Yamaha VX110 Waverunner sounds like a great place to start. This one-stop rental shop delivers the latest and greatest in speedboats, pontoons, tubes and waverunners for navigating nearby Lake Geneva’s 21-mile perimeter and engaging in some good-old freshwater fun.
