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.

Celebrate New Years Eve in the Poconos

The New Year is all about spending time with friends and family as we welcome the arrival of another year full of new adventures and possibilities. And as much fun as it is to watch the ball drop from the couch at home, why not travel and celebrate New Year’s Eve in the Poconos this year? At Woodloch, we always kick off the new year with holiday parties and events that are not to be missed! Read on to learn about the Woodloch festivities this New Year’s Eve.

Party On Three Different Ways

New Year’s reservations always fill up fast, so make sure and book with Woodloch sooner rather than later. And if we don’t have any openings, join us next year for a memorable Poconos New Year’s Eve. Choose from three different Woodloch celebrations on our American Plan Parties page. The night begins with 6:00 pm fireworks over Lake Teedyuskung and plenty of activities before you’ll be shouting, “3, 2, 1…Happy New Year!”

  • Nightclub Party: The first option is the traditional Heritage Club party available for adults and children ages seven and up. Listen to live music from the party band UUU while enjoying champagne from the open bar. Countdown the New Year and end the night at the buffet in the Main Dining Room.
  • North Lodge Family Party: This family party is open to all ages and includes games, contests, and prizes to usher some fun into the New Year. Dance to the music and put the kids to bed early with the mock New Years Countdown at 11 pm.
  • Lakeview Family Party: The last party is very similar to the previous one, except it is at The Inn at Woodloch instead.

New Year, Same Great Activities

Stay for a weekend at Woodloch and enjoy all of the fantastic seasonal activities after the new year. From ice skating to snow tubing, there are plenty of ways to get outside and embrace winter at Woodloch. If you want to try out some festive games, sign the family up for the winter Olympics or a scavenger hunt around the property. We invite you to start the new year at Woodloch and join us for a family-friendly NYE in the Poconos.
