Wisconsin Camp Gallintel Tent Colony Grew Since 1912
A Madison lakefront tent colony near Lake Mendota shows little change since 1912 apart from cost. A. F. Gallister and wife own the Camp Gallintel camp housing University of Wisconsin families for summers on five acres with wooden platforms and a noisy pier, offering gas lamps, ice boxes, and a gossip-filled respite from hot apartments. Families pay from near nothing to 150 dollars monthly, with many teachers among campers. The camp stays cooler than downtown Madison and features a boys annex, cooking tent, and a camp checker on rainy days plus perch fishing from the pier.

If property values drop, the burden would rise, though growth is expected to continue and observers see debt growth being matched by wealth increase.
