Woodloch Summer 2021: A Sneak Peak!
Ahh, the smell of freshly cut grass. That first whiff of delicious barbecue foods winding through the neighborhood. The gentle crash of waves at your favorite beach, lake or watering hole. The sweet songs of roosting birds as the sun heads over the hills for the night.
All of these things remind us that the bitter cold days of winter are in the rearview mirror, and that wonderful season of summer has finally arrived.
In 2021, all of this renewal comes with a greater appreciation for these sorts of things in life. After a year which none of us could have possibly predicted or foreseen, we are finally able to start gathering with friends and loved ones the way we were so accustomed to- but with a fresh appreciation for all that we have.
Having said that, Woodloch is very excited to be kicking off into a new season in 2021! While we are very heavy on the concept of tradition, we are always “back in the lab” creating new and exciting ways to celebrate the reunion of family and friends! Here is just a little sneak peak at some new events that will be headed your way this upcoming summer!
THE KEYSTONE GAMES
We have a special place in our hearts for the incredible state of Pennsylvania- it is HOME, of course! From Philly to Pittsburgh, from the farmlands to the mountains, our state is full of character! With that in mind, we thought we’d take the opportunity to write a “love letter” to the Keystone State in the form of this summer’s field day games!
We cordially invite our guests this summer to band up with friends and family to tackle 6 new events and relay-style challenges, all in the pursuit of that oh-so-coveted Woodloch gold medal (or, at least a lot of fun trying)!
EVENTS INCLUDE:
- “The Happy Valley QB Experience” –
- “Hershey Candy Scramble”-
- “Rocky Balboa’s Punchout”
- “The Turnpike Toss”
- “Milk The Cow”
- “The Office Olympics”
All teammates, no matter how big or small, can contribute to your team’s success! Don’t miss out!
COOKOUT & CARNIVAL
When the grills get fired up, you KNOW things are about to get real!
Our traditional summer cookout has been a fan-favorite for all of our guests for over 40 years. With a little help from the sunshine, our front lawn becomes the perfect place to settle in for one of the best BBQ’s around!
Summer favorites abound! Angus burgers, all-beef franks with all the fixings, fresh corn on the cob, steamed clams, baby back ribs, grilled chicken, wraps and so much more will fill a plate or two as you dine under the summer sun. Don’t forget to save some room for watermelon and our famous ice cream sandwiches- they are not to be missed!
Hand in hand with our summer cookouts is an all-new family friendly carnival! Our theme of Pennsylvania carries over into our midway style event. Each visitor gets 10 free tickets to try their luck on all sorts of games of skill and chance, this time chasing down special edition Woodloch prizes! Games range from simple to tricky, but all ages will find something that is just their speed.
Games include:
“Shoe Fly Pie” launch
“The Liberty Bell” putting challenge
“The Philly Phanatic” baseball roll
“Groundhog Day” Plinko
“The Crayola Challenge”
“Pocono Raceway”
“Name That Tune”
And so much more!
THE BOYS ARE BACK
Even after a long day of all sorts of fun in the sun, the good times roll right into those wonderful summer nights! This summer, Woodloch is paying homage to lots of fond summer memories of millennials, gen z’s and yes, even the boomers with the upbeat sounds of LARGER THAN LIFE, a boy band tribute spectacular!
Larger Than Life is “the ultimate boyband tribute.” This is the only act of its kind featuring actual singing, dancing, and costumes. Larger Than Life will take you back in time with the biggest 90s Party since the Backstreet Boys shut down Times Square.
Performing over 40 Boyband songs by the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees, O-Town, Boyz II Men, LFO, One Direction and many more! And for extra fun, the boys take us even way back with hits by The Jackson 5, Temptations, Four Seasons, and other classic male groups truly making this The Ultimate Boyband Tribute!
THE GREAT ESCAPE
Do you fancy yourself clever? Prove it to us by making it through our all-new escape room, “If I Only Had A Brain!”
That’s right, this summer we’ll be headed somewhere over the rainbow for a brand new labyrinth of challenges down the yellow brick road as we try to find our way to the wonderful wizard! Beware of lions, tigers and bears (oh my) and of course, that wicked witch! Make it back home by the time your clock expires to claim victory!
AND MORE…
Though we love to keep things fresh, some summer favorites are just too much fun to not bring back! Events like our famous Pool Games, Olympics, Scavenger Hunt and Family Double Dare will be revitalized with all new challenges! Our team is hard at work at all sorts of great trivia contests and medal events, plus new and returning family-friendly acts will take the stage in our Nightclub all season long. It’s going to be a terrific summer to visit!
