Exhilarating Snow Tubing in the Poconos

Woodloch’s Blog

Keep up-to-date with all things Woodloch on our blog featuring exclusive recipes, heartwarming stories, lifestyle content, contests and more.


Exhilarating Snow Tubing in the Poconos

If you’ve gone sledding, then you already know how much fun sliding down a snowy hill can be. Snow tubing is basically the same thing, except you are riding down an inflatable tube instead. Snow tubing in the Poconos provides exhilarating fun for the whole family. All you have to do is sit tight, hold on, and let gravity do the rest! 

Snow Tubing at Woodloch

We offer snow tubing in the Pocono Mountains right on the property at Woodloch. We even make our own snow so that you can enjoy this winter activity when nature-made snow is scarce. Sliding down the hill as you take in the fresh mountain air is truly something everyone will love. We have two options for snow tubing at Woodloch. You can either get a running start or sit down and let the release mechanism drop you at a less drastic angle. The latter is an excellent option for parents who want to go snow tubing with their kids. Join in on the fun at Woodloch!

Snow Tubing at Ski Big Bear

If you want to experience even more snow tubing in the Poconos, then make the drive to Ski Big Bear. The snow tubing chute is approximately 500 feet of exhilarating fun! And you don’t have to worry about hiking back up the hill; hop on the magic carpet lift to get back to the top. Tubing tickets are sold by session, which means you will have a set time for tubing. All participants must be at least 42” tall, even if participating with a parent or adult. We highly recommend buying your tickets ahead of time so you can guarantee your time on the hill. 

The All-Inclusive Experience

When you stay at Woodloch, you will have access to all of our on-site amenities and activities. After a chilly day of snow tubing in the Poconos, warm up with a delicious meal in the dining room. Then the kids can enjoy indoor amenities like our swimming pool or participate in one of the 30 daily activities. Evenings feature kids’ entertainment such as magicians or balloon artists that is a great way to conclude your day at Woodloch. Book your next family vacation at Woodloch, and we’ll have fun waiting for you when you arrive.

Enjoy Midwinter Recess at Woodloch!

Midwinter Recess At Woodloch!

Once the glow and glimmer of the holidays trickles past us, there’s no denying we can all find ourselves in a little bit of a slump. Going back to work and school, while necessary, becomes no easy task. The days and weeks seem to clump together in a mass of “blah.”

But alas, not all is lost. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that our professional and scholastic endeavors can continue virtually through the magic of the worldwide web. The earth has never been “flatter” so to speak- connection to our obligations is no further than a click and a Zoom call away. That allows us to go ahead and maybe even break a couple rules every once in a while. The bosses are none the wiser.

Lessen the blow of the winter doldrums with a little family escape to Woodloch this winter. Whether you’re going for that marquee holiday vacation or just sneaking off the grid for a few random cold days, we think you’ll find plenty of fun to be had here!

THE SNOW ZONE

One of the best things about our resort during the winter is an (over)abundance of SNOW. Mother Nature’s grand scheme is irrelevant when you’ve got an artillery of snow cannons at your beck and call. We create our first flakes once temperatures hit 20 degrees and continue fluffing up powder all season long. That means days of snowtubing for all interested and willing parties!

Classic Pocono Mountain skiing is not too far away either! Ski Big Bear at Masthope features 18 trails and 7 lifts and is the absolute PERFECT place to bring a young skier to learn! You can even score discount lift tickets through our front desk…

FOR THE KIDDOS

Winter amusements go far beyond frolicking through snow! Busy winter days for young Woodlochians include a feast of activities indoors and out! Go karting, archery, and a covered skating rink will give youngins the chance to bask in the mountain fresh air while they smile the days away.

Warming up from the chilly air is as simple as taking a dip in our heated indoor pool, kiddie splash area and our indoor waterslide complex. Cookies and cocoa are always fresh at our Gigi’s Coffee House! Running around our indoor “Forest” playground complex certainly burns off any excess energy little tykes might have left in the tank while a spin on the bumper cars brings back that classic amusement park memories of days past.

FOR THE GROWN UPS

There’s a lot we can learn from our children. Suffice it to say, adults can probably stand to cut loose a little more often though we sometimes lack the energy and conviction of our younger counterparts.

Luckily, a Woodloch escape provides the necessary tools to (sort of) fully embrace winter’s majesty. For the bold and adventurous, trapshooting, and even winter disc golf provide plenty of opportunities to explore the snowy Pocono landscape. Great trivia games, wine tasting, art classes and of course hot tubs are just about the perfect way to unwind after a busy day in the elements.

Speaking of relaxation, a beautiful destination spa is just two minutes down the road at The Lodge at Woodloch. Recognized by both Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast, this world class luxury retreat offers treatments, classes and lectures, and gourmet dining beyond compare. It’s the perfect way to truly immerse yourself in winter’s majesty.

FROSTY FUN FOR ALL

Of course, we weren’t voted “Best Family Resort in America” this year for nothing! Between big team activities like Scavenger Hunt and Olympics, medal-earning contests including tube races and “Bullseye” Soccer, and nightly entertainment featuring world-class magicians, jugglers and live music, opportunities for quality time together simply never cease.

With the ability to work remotely, there’s never been an easier opportunity to sneak away from the winter grind for a few days. A little bit of frosty fun just might be what the doctor ordered- we won’t tell if you don’t.

Woodloch Class Trips: TEAM BUILDING!

Woodloch Class Trips: TEAM BUILDING!

It seems like just yesterday, kids all across the country (or more truthfully, pretty much all of us) were eagerly counting down the last days of school so we could enjoy the warm, sunny and glorious days of summer vacation. Months of carefree days were at our disposal, and September seemed to be lightyears away.

Oh, how naive we all were. 

The nights are just a little bit shorter and cooler, and the start of an all-new school year is looming closer and closer. While it’s sad to say goodbye to yet another wonderful summer, as F. Scott Fitzgerald once said,  “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” New experiences, friends and opportunities are on the way, and it is to be celebrated!

One of my fondest memories growing up were class trips. That rare occasion when comrades were sprung from the daily school grind and brought to various locations. It can be said that these special days, these awesome class trips, were instrumental in helping all of us grow! Whether we took a quick trip down the road to our local courthouse, spent the day at Hersheypark, or even an entire week in Florida, we all returned from our trips a different person than we departed as.

Class trips, whether they are offered in the beginning of the year as a bonding experience or at the end of an academic year as a reward, will become important memories to kids! Whether your objective is learning or just unwinding and having a great time, Woodloch has all sorts of options to achieve your goal- here are just a few!

PLAY!

Bring the team together through the power of play! Whether everyone is just getting to know each other or celebrating the end of a school year, there are plenty of smiles in store for your group with our famous Olympic Games!

Groups of 10 or so players will tackle relay-style events in hopes of claiming the coveted Woodloch Gold Medal! And best of all? You can catch them in the summer sun and the winter snow!

THINK!

“The game is afoot, dear Watson!”

Channel your inner Sherlock with a series of challenges that will put your mind and body into overdrive with our popular Scavenger Hunt!
Treasure troves of gold medals await those fast and witty enough to vanquish our monster list- you might even have to get creative for some items! An avalanche of puzzles and bonus challenges will net you even more points- are you up to task?

BUILD!

It’s time for all of those hours of math and science homework to pay their dividends!

Using basic supplies like cardboard, bed sheets and tape, it’s up to your crew to use communication to create a seaworthy vessel before time expires in our intense Boat Build event! Select a skipper from among the ranks to pilot your ship to victory against rival ship yards! Return to the shore (semi)-intact and claim your glory!

GIVE!

It feels good to do good, so why not take the opportunity to help while having a blast? Consider our “Com-PET-ition” event for your group’s opportunity to help furry friends!

Through a series of timed challenges, your team’s task is to build critter relief packages to be donated to our local animal shelter. You win the prizes, learn a valuable lesson on social responsibility, and all of the animals will be sincerely grateful for your efforts!
