Camp Wandawega & Nod – Stories Behind the Products
I’ve written a few posts so far about the magic of Camp Wandawega. You can learn about the history of Camp Wandawega here and more about how our Camp Wandawega for Nod collection came to be here, and you can shop the entire collection at Land of Nod.
I’ve said it before, but our partnership with The Land of Nod is a dream. So we were honored when The Land of Nod came to shoot the collection at Camp. This video above is a behind-the-scenes look at the collaboration. And here are a few behind-the-product stories of some of the new products.
The Camp Map Rug is a 3-dimensional kid’s dream come true. It’s sculpted hills are a racetrack for Charlie’s HotWheels, it’s lake a swimming pool for her dolls. She has more than once fallen asleep in it’s grassy field — under the ‘stars’ of Camp Wandawega.
Charlie loves wrapping herself & Frankie up in her Camp Sheets – she’ll spend the last half hour before she nods off showing us where she found the frog in the teepee… where she and Frankie had the adventure with the turtle on the beach. It’s a map for the imagination, and the pillowcase alone is the key for us to take Camp wherever we go.
6 years ago, we rescued Frankie from a high-kill shelter and since the night we brought him home in our laps, he’s been our loyal camp security guard/face licker/hot dog stealer/couch snuggler/guest greeter. And now, he’s immortalized as a Throw Pillow. You can’t tell us dogs don’t have soul. And he even saved our family once, read about it here.
