SUMMER 2022 PREVIEW: Coming soon to Woodloch!

The May flowers that were so elegantly promised us after the “April Showers” have finally popped, and one thing is on just about everyone’s mind: SUMMER TIME.

Considering the circumstances of the past two years, one could even argue that we are hungrier for sunshine, warm temperatures, barbecues and family travel more than ever. So it is fitting that this summer at our resort will be one of the most exciting in years!

The team at Woodloch has been working hard behind the scenes to bring summertime travelers something truly memorable this season… and here’s just a little sneak peak!

NEW ADVENTURES AHEAD

The success or failure of any trip largely lies on the shoulders of the toughest critics… and by that, we of course mean children! Luckily for everyone’s sake, we’ve got an amazing new amenity headed our way this summer to keep the youngest adventurers in your party truly satisfied!

Our brand new ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND will feature all sorts of obstacles perfect for the little Indiana Jones, Lara Croft or Nathan Drake in your lives. Set to open this summer, this playground will keep active children at bay with a whole set of satisfying challenges, complete with a deep breath of mountain fresh air!

TRIBAL COUNCIL RETURNS

Not to be outdone, our big games will finally come back to the beautiful Lake Teedyuskung with the triumphant return of our SURVIVAL GAMES!

A set of six challenges await you and your “tribe” as you prove your worth to our staff. Games will test your physical endurance and mental limits as your family partakes in a unique set of relays in pursuit of that legendary Woodloch gold medal!

WE LOVE ROCK AND ROLL

We are ready to ROCK you! Mondays will not only feature our delicious Woodloch summer cookouts (worth the trip alone!), but will also feature a double dose of rock n’ roll!

First up, all ages can enjoy games of skill and chance as we salute BRITISH MANIA with an all new carnival! Partake in a series of midway games (themed around all of your favorite rock n’ roll groups from the UK!) in pursuit of golden tickets and ultimately, some fabulous Woodloch prizes!

Woodloch’s famous Broadway-style Theme Show is returning to the hot lights of our big stage with “Islands of the World!” A musical revue complete with a professional cast, elaborate sets, pyrotechnics and more, it is not to be missed!

YOU’RE “IT”

In addition to our marquee games and brand new evening shows, visitors can look forward to brand new medal events and competitions for all!

We are taking the time-honored game of tag and taking it to new heights with our “MEGA TAG” contest! Fusing elements of “Steal the Bacon,” “Capture The Flag” and a little bit of Flag Football, this 3-on-3 event is almost as fun to watch as it is to play.

Individuals and academics looking to flex their intellectual prowess will be pleased to know that Woodloch’s classic take on SCRABBLE will be returning after an over 15 year hiatus! Brush up on your vocabulary and be prepared for this intense trivia game!

WOODLOCH… REBOOTED!

64 years of returning family and friends can’t be wrong- it just wouldn’t be summertime without the return of all of our favorite big-team Woodloch events and games!

How to Budget for a Woodloch Summer Getaway

Summer is right around the corner, and it’s time to start budgeting your summer getaway at Woodloch! We help make budgeting a breeze with our all-inclusive vacation packages that include the price of your accommodations, dining, and activities. No worrying about setting aside money for meals or things to do; we have you covered with one convenient price. We also offer special packages and discounts throughout the year, so you can plan ahead and save on your Poconos summer vacation. Read on to discover our tips for budgeting your vacation!

Examine Your Finances

The first step to budgeting your Woodloch vacation is to examine your finances. After reviewing your finances, determine what kind of vacation experience you want. An all-inclusive vacation package makes budgeting your vacation more manageable. Otherwise, you would have to factor in the costs of lodging, meals, and activities separately.

Plan Ahead of Time

One of the best ways to budget for a vacation is to plan well in advance. This gives you plenty of time to save for the trip and find the best deals. Create a clear outline of how much money you will have to save and decide if you should wait till next summer to plan your vacation.

Factor in Travel Costs

Travel costs are another essential factor in your budget. Out-of-state guests will have to budget for airfare. The best way to save money is to book your flight as early as possible. We also recommend doing your research and comparing several sites before you book. If you are traveling from Pennsylvania, don’t forget to factor in the cost of gas and transportation.

Use Our End of Summer Special

Woodloch offers special packages and discounts for you to save money on your family vacation. This year we are offering an end-of-summer special where you can save 15% on your getaway from August 27th to September 2nd.

You can also Subscribe to Woodloch to keep up to date with last-minute deals and special offers throughout the year.

Your Poconos Summer Vacation Awaits

We recommend starting now if you haven’t already started budgeting for your Poconos summer vacation! Learn more about our accommodations, dining plan, and daily activities to see if Woodloch is right for you.

Embark on a bike ride in the mountains with the family! Mountain biking is available on the South Trail and North Lower Loop trails. Start on the South Trail, where you will bike steep terrain with a 600-foot elevation change. The route then connects to the North Trail Lower Loop, which offers a flatter and more leisurely ride.

Plan a Family Picnic

Big Pocono State Park is the perfect place for a summer picnic. There are three picnic areas in the park with tables and charcoal grills. Take in beautiful views of Camelback Mountain as you enjoy the summer breeze. Pack lunch, snacks, and juice boxes, and set up your picnic in the park together!

Watch for Local Wildlife

While hiking, biking, or enjoying your picnic, keep an eye out for local wildlife. Common species include rabbits, coyotes, deer, fox, raccoon, ruffled grouse, squirrel, and turkey. See how many wildlife species you can spot during your day trip at Big Pocono State Park.

Get Outside and Explore Big Pocono State Park
