Woodloch “By The Numbers’

Woodloch is a busy place all year round! We dug around and found a couple of really great statistics to share with you- we hope you enjoy them!

  • Every year, we welcome about 80,000 guests through our lobby doors

  • Woodloch has 231 accommodations to stay in. That is equivalent to just about 938 beds and rollaways for our guests to get a good night’s sleep (which they will need!)

  • In Woodloch’s ever-growing catalog of things to do, we feature 187 (and counting) games, contests, and activities. That’s a lot to choose from when creating our daily activity sheet!

  • Summertime is our busiest season, and it requires a lot of help. During our busiest periods, more than 1300 employees work at Woodloch in front and behind the scenes… that’s just about a 1 to 1 guest/staff ratio!

  • Woodloch set up shop on Lake Teedyuskung in 1958. It’s a natural spring-fed lake that is about 3 miles around and is 30 feet at its deepest end!

  • We’ve been enjoying waterskiing on our lake since the early days- our best skiers shred the wakes at about 35 miles per hour!
  • Woodloch is a big place- over 135 acres at our main property. Thankfully, we have shuttle buses to help you get around- every year, they take approximately 18,571 laps around our resort, bringing guests from point A to B!

  • We are BIG on breakfast here! We roll over 55,000 of our famous “Scandinavian Pancakes” here every year (what can we say, our guests work up quite the appetite).

  • Speaking of which, more than 1,500 crumb cakes are sold to guests at our Country Store every year to share with friends back home (or… maybe not).

  • One of Woodloch’s most popular desserts at dinnertime is our famous “Mud Pie.” It includes coffee ice cream, chocolate graham crust, fudge and whipped cream topping. We serve just about 36,000 slices of it each year!

  • New Year’s Eve is Woodloch’s busiest package in our calendar year. We pop open over 250 bottles of champagne as we count down the New Year!

  • For several decades, Woodloch had a very limited marketing department- we counted on “word of mouth” advertising from our guests (and it worked well for quite some time!) Fast forward to 2023, we now have over 5 million web page visits every year!

Hip Hip HOORAY – it's National Plan Your Vacation Day! | Woodloch Resort

Hip Hip HOORAY – it’s National Plan Your Vacation Day!

There’s no greater tragedy than vacation time lost.

When I was younger, I was always told “First, plan your work. Then work your plan.” Perhaps the same sort of thing can be said of leisure time- “Plan your play, then play your plan.”

Americans like to work. So much, in fact, that even when our employers go and GIVE us vacation hours as both a reward and as a deterrent for burnout, that we simply don’t use them all. Collectively, 2018 saw us let 768 million unused vacation days go to waste.

This can be partially attributed to workaholic tendencies (another story for another time), or more objectively, poor planning. We get this wonderful paid time off (PTO), and horde it like squirrels preparing for a long winter. While it’s nice to have the security of time off banked, more often than not, it sits there and is ultimately forfeited when time is not budgeted out.

January marks #PlanForVacationDay, a day established by the U.S. Travel Association for individuals and families to sit down and allocate those valuable hours to good use! That way, you can map out the next 365 days of your life with vacation plans intact! Whether you’re traveling in spring, summer, winter or fall, you’ll be glad you took the time to do so!

Some facts and figures from the U.S. Travel Association:

  • 83% of Americans don’t maximize their PTO. In fact, in not taking advantage of these benefits, we forfeit about $571 in hours back to our employer.
  • 46% of households don’t plan for vacation in advance at all- younger travelers (18 – 34) are notorious for this!
  • 63% of Americans agree (myself included) that they desperately need a vacation
  • 54% of Americans are prioritizing exploring more of the US with their time off in 2021
  • Travel is good for the economy! If Americans maximized their time off benefits, it would create an estimated $151 billion in additional travel spending and about 2 million additional jobs.
  • Travel is also good for you! Multiple studies have linked travel to stress reduction, strengthening personal relationships, and avoiding professional burnout. In fact, professional performance is improved!

When you’re stuck at your desk working through the grind day after day, wouldn’t it be nice to have a shimmering beacon of hope down the horizon? Something to look forward to? What is better than planned quality time with family and friends?

Your friends at Woodloch want you to take advantage of this great and useful day! As a matter of fact, we’re even holding a special #PlanForVacationDay sale in January. Be sure to sign up for our specials- there are 4 seasons of deals at your disposal!

Poconos Resorts – Best Adult-Oriented Classes at Woodloch Resort

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.
