House society theory’s experientially grounded flexibility founds an understanding of century-old American campsteads at Squam Lake, New Hampshire. These conjoin five to seven familial generations with place, property, architecture, and memory; foster a sort of experience with conceptual and structural implications for both people and the local landscape. The morphogenic relations between experience, intelligibilia, and structuring conditions, in turn, find a clear theoretical model in Margaret Archer’s practice theory. This article describes such campsteads, locating their emergence and continuing structural importance in cycles of American nature religion. The campstead thus assumes a spiritual mantle, and fosters in campsteaders a self intimately shaped by close experience having heightened personal significance.
