All-Inclusive East Coast Resorts: A Myriad of Lunch Options at Woodloch

Twelve months a year, families from across the East Coast flock to Woodloch Resort to relax, unwind and bond, all while having nonstop fun. If you take a quick peek at our daily activity sheet, you’ll quickly understand why we’re revered as one of the premier all-inclusive East Coast resorts. With dozens of homegrown activities, nightly live entertainment, and delicious on-site cuisine, your family will never forget their week-long vacation in the beautiful Pocono Mountains! One of the most underrated perks of an all-inclusive getaway to Woodloch is our world-class dining service, which ranges from black Angus cheeseburgers to succulent prime rib.

Top 10 Lunches at Woodloch Resort

Woodloch Resort’s all-inclusive American Plan includes two or three meals per day, which comprises a tasty family-style lunch. As one of the top-rated all-inclusive East Coast resorts within two hours of Manhattan, we’re continuously improving upon our lunch options. Our highly-trained culinary staff can craft anything from juicy butterfly shrimp to PB&J for your littlest ones. Our lunch menus vary by the day (and the season), something you won’t find at most all-inclusive resorts near NYC. Please keep in mind that this list is just a sampling of what we’ve offered in the past.

  1. Black Angus (Cheese)Burger – Kids and adults alike love our famous black Angus cheeseburger, which is why it’s on nearly every lunch menu.
  2. Seafood Surimi Crab & Shrimp Salad – Health-conscious guests and seafood lovers cannot resist the allure of a crab and shrimp salad, complete with all of the best toppings.
  3. Summer Cookout – During the warm seasons, we treat our guests to some good, old-fashioned outdoor grilling, which includes ribs, jerk chicken thighs, steamed clams, and so much more!
  4. Battered Fried Fish & Chips – Fish and chips is a simple meal, but it’s hard to top perfectly-battered, lemon-drizzled fish filets with a side of crispy golden fries.
  5. Luncheon Buffet – We typically feature the luncheon buffet during the cooler months. Taste your way through king crab legs, a carving station, honey chicken, pierogies, and many more delicacies!
  6. Woodloch Turkey Club – Our signature turkey club is a crowd pleaser! Turkey breast, tomato, spinach, bacon, red pepper aioli, and asiago cheese is all wedged in-between two slices of toasted seven-grain bread.
  7. Cuban Sandwich – There are dozens of ways to craft a delicious Cuban sandwich, but our secret recipe has stood the test of time.
  8. Hot Pastrami on Pretzel Roll – Nothing enhances a sandwich quite like a fresh-baked pretzel roll, and our hand-carved pastrami is a mouthwatering delight!
  9. Chicken Casserole with Macaroni – This delicious casserole is a popular warm option for those who are taking a break from snow tubing, ice skating, and snowshoeing.
  10. “Sauerbraten” Braised Marinated Beef – Our unique take on Sauerbraten features some of the most tender cuts of beef rump roast imaginable.

Lake Resorts in PA – Top 5 Summer Beach Activities at Lake Teedyuskung

Woodloch’s Blog

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

Top 5 Summer Beach Activities at Lake Teedyuskung

The unofficial start of summer is rapidly approaching with Memorial Day weekend just around the corner. Every summer, families from across the East Coast flock to Woodloch Resort to spend several days swimming, splashing, and paddling in the sapphire blue water of Lake Teedyuskung. While your family will have the rare opportunity to participate in dozens of exciting homegrown activities here at one of the top-rated lake resorts in PA, you’ll likely want to spend as much time as possible in the soothing water of a private lake. And don’t forget to take a short break from Lake Teedyuskung to try out any or all of these five beach activities!

5 Summer Beach Activities at Woodloch Resort

If you take a glance at our daily activity sheet, you’ll quickly notice that you and your family can participate in a vast array of activities ranging from bumper boats to archery. But there’s nothing quite like water skiing, swimming, and sunbathing under the warm summer sun, which is why we compiled five free and easy beach activities to try this summer here at Woodloch, one of the best lake resorts in PA.

  • Sand volleyball – Challenge another family or let the kids make new friends with a rousing match of sand volleyball along the edge of our private Lake Teedyuskung beach. Perhaps you have the next Kerri Walsh or Misty May in the family!
  • Built a sandcastle – Build a sandcastle with the entire family, and let everyone’s imagination run wild! If you’re planning on creating something special, remember to bring along a starter sand-sculpting kit. Use moist sand found below the tide line, add water periodically, and start at the bottom to ensure that your castle doesn’t fall.
  • Read a book – While the kids build a sandcastle, fly kites, and splash in the lake, dust off that summer beach read you’ve been dying to finish. For a list of the hottest beach reads, visit The Oprah Magazine’s website.
  • Sunbathing – Woodloch Resort wouldn’t be one of premier lake resorts in PA if we didn’t provide parents with a fleet of ultra-comfortable chaise lounges along the edge of our exclusive beach. Whether you’re hoping to work on your tan or just aching to soak up the summer sun, there’s no better place than our kid-friendly, lakefront beach area.
  • Fly a kite – The art of kite-flying is somewhat of a science as you’ll need ideal wind conditions to successfully fly a colorful kite. Most kites fly in light-to-medium winds, ranging from six to 15 miles per hour. The beach’s location along the northeast edge of Lake Teedyuskung is a quality spot for an afternoon of kite-flying!

Family-Friendly Lake Resorts in PA

Treat the whole family to the extended weekend getaway that they deserve this summer right here at Woodloch Resort. We’re not only one of the top-rated Pocono Mountains resorts, but our award-winning, family-friendly destination is within two hours of lively New York City! Your family can bond through a wide variety of homegrown activities, such as summer Olympics, Bakery Wars, and the Amazing Race.

Woodloch’s Blog

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

Poconos Getaway: Best Adult-Oriented Classes at Woodloch

First and foremost, Woodloch is an award-winning, all-inclusive family resort with countless homegrown activities that everyone can try together. But we also welcome couples, groups, and families with grown children who wish to try a wide variety of adult-oriented activities along the way. Many of these classes and demonstrations are perfect rainy day activities! Woodloch is home to a family-friendly campus, a golf community, and a luxury spa resort, all of which rank among the best Poconos resorts. Spend your days putting for birdie at Woodloch Springs, relaxing in our lavish Aqua Garden, and tasting award-winning labels during a wine tasting class this summer at historic Woodloch Resort!

Wine Tasting

The most popular adult-oriented activity here at our world-class Poconos resorts is the wine tasting course where lucky guests will have the rare opportunity to savor some delicious labels. Whether you’re a wine aficionado or simply hoping to learn more about the industry, you’ll leave the class with a deeper appreciation for a variety of top vineyards. Our resident sommelier teaches guests the art of observing, swirling, smelling, and tasting several different wine varietals. You’ll also learn about Pennsylvania’s “native” grapes, including Chambourcin, Traminette, and Chardonnay.

Art Classes

While children can certainly enroll in a relaxing, educational art class, most participants are adults and teens. Our professional instructors teach a wide variety of art classes, including introductory drawing, painting, and sculpting. You’ll, of course, be able to bring your unique creation home after the session, but many of the best works of art by students are on display in the art room. The advanced painting class is one of the most popular activities that’s offered as part of our adults-only AWAY midweek program.

Cooking Demonstrations

It’s worth noting that our chef-led cooking demonstrations at The Lodge at Woodloch are different from the midweek cooking class. During the presentation, you’ll learn about our farm-to-table approach, gourmet techniques, and on-site offerings before tasting the delicious finished product. Most demonstrations include a mouthwatering two-course-meal starting with a light, beautifully-plated appetizer and finishing with a filling, inventive entree.

Best Poconos Resorts

There are over a dozen exciting activities that are geared towards adventure-seeking adults and teens, including trap shooting, bar games, archery, rock climbing, water skiing, escape rooms, and paintball. Woodloch Resort has been revered as one of the top-rated Poconos resorts since we opened our doors in 1958 thanks to our continued efforts to create a one-of-a-kind escape for guests of all ages! As one of the only award-winning, all-inclusive resorts in Pennsylvania, we proudly offer the complete package: homegrown activities, nightly live entertainment, on-site dining, modern accommodations, and five-star service!

To book a well-deserved vacation to the awe-inspiring Pocono Mountains, please give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562, or visit us online at Woodloch.com.
