Folds of Honor & More | Giving Back to the Community

The holiday season is often considered one of the most magical times of the year. From festive events to gift-giving to spending time with family, there are endless reasons why people love this season. However, this time of year is also about giving back. However, at Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, we are committed to giving back to the community year-round. Keep reading to learn more about our charitable partnerships.

What to Know About Our Different Partners

We are proud to partner with four incredible organizations, each dedicated to helping the Poconos community and beyond.

Folds of Honor

The Folds of Honor Foundation strives to give back to spouses and children of soldiers disabled or killed in service. Through annual educational scholarships, the organization helps support tutoring, private education tuition, educational summer camps for kindergarten through 12th-grade kids, and higher education tuition assistance. Every year, we host the Folds of Honor Golf Classic at Woodloch Springs. So far, it has helped raise over one million dollars! Stay tuned for information about the next golf fundraiser.

For Pete’s Sake

For Pete’s Sake was created to help create respite experiences for cancer patients, their loved ones, and caregivers. These experiences give patients and their loved ones a chance to strengthen their relationships and recognize that cancer does not define them. We are honored to help provide families with opportunities to come together for those experiences. Our property will also be the site of the For Pete’s Sake Respite Center, which will offer transformational respite experiences. 

Delaware Highlands Conservancy Green Lodging Partnership

Our resort is a proud Green Lodging partner. Through their reservations, our guests contribute to the Delaware Highlands Conservancy. This means our guests are directly supporting the protection of clean waters, recreational opportunities, and healthy land. Every bill paid during checkout includes a $3 donation to this initiative to help preserve the stunning area we call home.

BK Hope Cures

Conceived in 1999, BK Hope Cures strives to create hope for cancer patients. Founded by a cancer survivor, this organization raises funds to benefit cancer research and patient care. Our Poconos golf course is the site of the annual BK Invitational Golf Tournament. The two-day event includes golfing, a cocktail party, and dinner. We also host other events in conjunction with the foundation, including a 5K in June and BK Hope Cures Tricky Tray: A Night for the Cure.

Experience the Woodloch Difference for Yourself

At Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, we are committed to being there for not only our guests but also the Poconos region and beyond. This is why we team up with organizations that are also committed to giving back to the community. Call 570-685-8000 to learn more about our partnerships and how you can help us give back.

Spend a Snowy Day at Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain

There’s no shortage of things to do on a Woodloch vacation. That list of adventures grows even longer when snow starts to fall. For anyone planning a winter getaway, it won’t take long to discover the wealth of adventure that awaits you. If you’re staying with us this winter, leave room in your itinerary to visit Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain. This nearby attraction is filled with fun for the whole family.

What to Know About Visiting Ski Big Bear

It only takes about 15 minutes to reach Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain, which typically opens for the season in December. This means you can spend more time on the slopes and less time driving between our Poconos family resort and the popular attraction. This spot is the ideal place to visit if you’re looking to enjoy quintessential winter activities like skiing and snow tubing.

We recommend purchasing your lift tickets as soon as you know when you’ll be visiting. Kids under five will receive a complimentary ticket with a paying adult. There are two different types of tickets. One is all access, which gives you access to any lift and all open trails. There are also beginner tickets, which provide access to the Magic Carpet and Sun Kid lifts and the easiest terrain trails. Snow tubing tickets are a separate purchase and are available on weekends and holiday periods.

You can also reserve your rental equipment ahead of time. Because this is available on a first-come, first-served basis, we highly recommend purchasing your rental equipment when you purchase your lift tickets. 

When you arrive for your day on the mountain, you have 18 trails, seven lifts, and three Magic Carpet lifts at your disposal. Trails range from easy to double black diamond runs. This means there is something for every skill level. Before leaving our resort, check out the trail conditions report to see what is open and available that day. 

Start Planning Your Poconos Winter Vacation

The snow will start falling before you know it, which makes now the ideal time to plan your winter vacation to Woodloch. Our Poconos resort is close to top attractions like Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain. It’s also home to plenty of winter fun, including Winter Olympics and Festival of Lights.

The first step in planning your visit to our winter wonderland is checking out what is included in our all-inclusive experience. You’ll have your choice of one of our well-appointed accommodations and dining plans. For more information or help reserving your stay, call 570-685-8000.

Tips for the Best Photos on Your Pocono Mountains Vacation

Going on vacation is one of the best ways to create lifelong memories. From taking advantage of on-site activities to exploring nearby attractions, there’s no shortage of things to do when staying at Woodloch or The Lodge at Woodloch. Never forget the fun you had by capturing your adventures on “film.” To help you take the best photos possible during your Pocono Mountains getaway, we’ve put together a list of helpful tips and tricks.

1. Invest in a Digital Camera

    While the camera on your phone can take decent images, there’s nothing quite like the images you get from a proper camera. However, that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank by getting some huge DSLR with multiple lenses. There are several budget-friendly point-and-shoot cameras that can get the job done!

    2. Think about How to Frame the Shot

      Before taking your picture, think about how you’ve framed the shot. One of the best ways to compose your image is by following the rule of thirds. Pretend there is a three-by-three grid on your photo; you want your subject at one of these intersections. This will help naturally draw your eyes to the subject. 

      3. Other Things to Keep in Mind

        The best thing about using a digital camera is you have almost unlimited room for photos. Have fun and experiment with your shots! Take photos along our shoreline at sunrise and sunset to see which lighting you like best. Play with the depth of field or shutter speed at a nearby waterfall like the one inside Promised Land State Park or Bushkill Falls.

        Witness the Beauty of the Pocono for Yourself

        During your next vacation to Woodloch or The Lodge at Woodloch, bring your camera along. Whether exploring our properties or the surrounding Pocono Mountains region, there are endless stunning spots to capture in photos that you can look back on for years. Start planning your escape to our slice of Pennsylvania by calling 570-685-8000 to learn more about our resorts.
