Campers arrive at Bil-O-Wood in many ways; in family cars, by camp van and by bus.

Family cars

Families may drive their campers to Bil-O-Wood. Families who drive should plan their arrival between 12 noon and 4 PM on the first day of their session.

Camp vans

Some campers (usually international campers) will arrive with a group in a camp van. Bil-O-Wood will meet campers and groups at airports. Special arrangements must be completed with the camp office to arrange this pick up. (FEE CHARGED)

Airports

Please note there are no airports within 100 miles of camp. The closest airports are Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Sault Ste. Marie, MI and Sudbury, ON. Rental cars are available at these locations.

Charter Bus Trips

Bil-O-Wood organizes two bus trips to camp at the beginning of each summer. One leaves the eastern US and accommodates campers from that area. There are usually two or three pick up sites. A second bus leaves from the Chicago, IL area and stops for campers in mid-state Michigan. Parents are responsible for having their camper at the pick up site. (FEE CHARGED)

NOTE: Camp Bil-O-Wood encourages parents to visit and pick up their camper at the end of their session. We feel it is important that parents see and experience the place where their campers have spent a part of their summer. Parents are more likely to share in their children’s experiences and stories if they have been there as well.
