Woodloch has been a source of thousands of memories, but most importantly those I’ve shared with my dad. He worked a 70hr week, so our semi-annual Woodloch trips were a time of much needed family bonding. My dad made every second of our trips memorable, even the 4hr car ride from LI. He made a contest where the first to spot a Woodloch sign would get whatever they wanted from the gift shop. Let’s just say my sisters and I were never so attentive in the car. Upon arrival, we’d look for our “friends” Cheapy-Weepy and Emmie in the rocks behind Springbrook. Little did we know these were just ordinary chipmunks, but my dad would tell us bedtime stories about their mischievous adventures around Woodloch, from stealing items from guests or sneaking in the dining room to grab some smiley fries. His pranks continued on the walk to horse racing. He’d stop and claim a magical force was pulling him to the washing machines outside the Heritage Club. My sisters and I would use every ounce of strength to drag him away so we wouldn’t miss the betting for the first race. Our family’s favorite event was the Scavenger Hunt. My dad would come up with our crazy Woodloch songs, stories, and team name, “the Cactus Hugging Muffin Jugglers.” He loved getting a laugh out of the staff and would use his charm to bribe them for more points. Some honorable mentions: •Stealing breakfast sausages to use for catching sunfish and once an old lawn chair off the dock •Beating our rivals “The Flying Redbirds” in Family Feud •Falling in an ice fishing hole on the lake and lying to my mom since she told my dad not to take us there Our last trip was right after he found out he had to start chemo. He wanted to enjoy some good food and family fun before he’d start feeling sick. We called up the front desk and explained the situation, and they were able to squeeze us in for a night. My dad lost his battle to cancer 2.5 years ago. My family and I haven’t been back to Woodloch since, worried it wouldn’t be the same without him. I’m hoping it would be the opposite: a way to remember all these beautiful memories in a place we all love. This is #mywoodlochstory and I can’t wait for those to come.
Oh Monday mornings. Can we just go back to Friday and head back to woodloch?! ☕️🖤 • If you followed along with my stories, you saw that we got to spend the weekend doing alllllllll the family things in the mountains. • Snow tubing, playing at the water park, hitting arcades, ice skating, going to bonfires, riding bumper cars, going to coffee houses, playing in huge playgrounds and enjoying so many wonderful meals together. • Truly so sad it’s over but b e y o n d grateful that we were able to create so many memories together! ENORMOUS thank you to woodloch for hosting us. We had the most amazing time!!! Check out my Woodloch highlights and look out for my blog on our trip.

Words cannot express how much family fun we had this weekend at Woodloch Resort. Swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, pool, lake, mini golf, playground, batting cage, bumper boats, bumper cars, go-carts, archery. I think I may be forgetting a few of the activities but I think you get the point. We loved it. I can see why my grandmother visited with friends in the 80s and now I am so happy to be here with my family to celebrate 60 years. Take a look at our Insta Stories to see our experience.

Did you guys know it’s been OVER a year since we’ve taken a family vacation? 😬 Isn’t that crazy? While our year has been full of travel, we haven’t gone anywhere ALL together since Greece in April 2018 🤦🏻♀️ and I can’t even find a family picture from that trip 😂 New jobs and new schools have prevented us from actually leaving the house together, even for the weekend! But we are fixing that this week and heading to woodloch resort for some good old fashioned family togetherness! I haven’t had to plan a thing, which is a dream for me after trip planning for the last year 😂 I can’t wait to show up and enjoy each other’s company! Ps, last chance to enter my giveaway for the letsadventuremore photography course! Check out my last post. #familytogetherness #woodloch #familyvacation

Only 1.5 hours from the Madison area. Woodloch Resort is a great family get away. Just came back from a quick trip with my son. Highly recommend. #woodloch #woodlochresort #family #games #familyfun #archery #riflebarn #bingo #trivia #lackawaxen
🏎🏎🏎 My little speed demons had a blast zipping around Woodloch’s two go-cart tracks! Yes, you read that correctly - Woodloch offers up not one but two go-cart tracks, one designed especially for the younger set (kids must be between 48 and 58 inches to drive these) and one for older racers and their younger passengers. My son recently passed the 48-inch mark, so he was beyond excited that he was tall enough to drive his very own Junior Go-Cart, while my daughter’s spring growth spurt meant she was able to drive a Viper Go-Cart on her own, making for two very happy kids. Even my husband got in on the go-cart action, speeding around the Viper track multiple times, with our son as his very willing companion. We were all pleased to learn that the go-carts are not only part of the all-inclusive Woodloch experience, but that no reservation is required to ride them, meaning you can just show up and get right to racing! How fun is that? woodloch poconotourism visit_pa #mywoodlochstory #gokarts #gocart #gocarts #woodloch #poconos #poconomountains #visitpa
