Having campers share their experiences at summer camp is important to the Bil-O-Wood story.

Camp Bil-O-Wood is a privately owned children’s summer camp in Northern Ontario for boys and girls aged 7-17.  Camp Bil-O-Wood is a family owned and operated enterprise with over 70 years of camping success, founded in 1946. The beauty of the camp is that is sits on over 500 acres and on two private lakes.

DW Video has been promoting Camp Bil-O-Wood since the mid 1980’s.  Loving the area it has 12 camper cabins, a 15-room main lodge, a dining hall for 200, a health center, a craft center, an all purpose outdoor pavilion for 200, and a maintenance building. The activity areas include a full size soccer field, 3 tennis courts, 2 volleyball courts, 2 basketball courts, a baseball field, an archery range, a weight training pavilion, and over a mile of waterfront activity area for sailing, swimming, water volleyball, water polo, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and more.
It has been our honor to see the change over from one generation to another.  Today, Camp Bil-O-Wood is operated by a 3rd generation husband and wife with a 30-year background in camping and master’s degree’s in nursing and education.

SEO Working for DW Video Clients

SEO or Search Engine Optimization if important for your website getting seen?  After running a couple reports over the weekend I am happy with the results.  We are pushing a national organic campaign for Thermal-Tec  “78% exposure to Google is fantastic results for Thermal-Tec. There is only a couple of tweaks here and there needed to raise Bing and Yahoo. Nothing radical to do and most any changes will hurt rankings instead of help rankings’.   This is why we monitor and make changes only where necessary.

For our International client Camp Bil-O-Wood “After 4 consecutive months of over 1000 visitors per month, the drop to 772 visitors in August was expected and slightly above last year’s 600 visitors (Summer Camp is over). The main surprise was the increase to almost 8 percent of visitors coming from Western Europe.  This will be one of our main focal points over the coming months”.
