Camping accommodation is included in your registration fee, and in 2019 we’ll be spending two nights in non-camping accommodation in Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury (this accommodation is included in your registration fee). You are also welcome to make arrangements to stay in one of our supported hotels for one or all of the nights.

Camping: If you want to make camping more comfortable and convenient check out the Comfy Camper Service. They will outfit you with a roomy tent, air mattress, camping chair and clean towel every morning. Their team of locally hired youth set up and take down your tent daily.  Check out this video of what the GWTA experience is like.

There are a variety of accommodations in our host communities, however, the establishments in this selection are supported by the GWTA, located close to base camp and are cycling friendly. Luggage will be dropped off at the hotel in the evening and picked up in the morning. Luggage will NOT be dropped off at unsupported accommodations. Where distances or circumstances warrant it, there may be shuttles to supported hotels.
