GETTING TO AND FROM CAMP
Campers have three options for traveling to and from camp: drop off/pick up at OSRUI, riding the bus from the Chicago or Twin Cities areas, or air travel. General travel information is below – we will share more specific details in the spring.
Auto Drop Off at Camp: Families who drive their campers to camp will be able to sign up for a time slot for drop off between 10am and 12pm. Campers will join their unit groups right away and eat lunch at camp on Opening Day. Specific instructions for drop off will be shared in the spring.
Busing: We offer coach bus transportation from the Chicagoland area and the Twin Cities. We will confirm bus times and exact locations closer to the start of camp, but for planning purposes, you can assume roughly 6:30am from the Twin Cities, and 9am from the Chicago area on Opening Day.
By Plane: We know many of our campers arrive from out of state. For campers who fly to Wisconsin for the summer, OSRUI staff will meet campers at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee (MKE). Our staff will meet campers at the gate when they arrive and will walk campers to the gate on departure day. If you are flying to camp, please do your best to have flights arrive and depart in the following parameters:
- Opening Day: Flights arrive at MKE between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
- Closing Day: Flights depart MKE between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Please contact us to discuss flight times if your options are outside the times outlined above.
