How to Budget for a Woodloch Summer Getaway

Summer is right around the corner, and it’s time to start budgeting your summer getaway at Woodloch! We help make budgeting a breeze with our all-inclusive vacation packages that include the price of your accommodations, dining, and activities. No worrying about setting aside money for meals or things to do; we have you covered with one convenient price. We also offer special packages and discounts throughout the year, so you can plan ahead and save on your Poconos summer vacation. Read on to discover our tips for budgeting your vacation!

Examine Your Finances

The first step to budgeting your Woodloch vacation is to examine your finances. After reviewing your finances, determine what kind of vacation experience you want. An all-inclusive vacation package makes budgeting your vacation more manageable. Otherwise, you would have to factor in the costs of lodging, meals, and activities separately.

Plan Ahead of Time

One of the best ways to budget for a vacation is to plan well in advance. This gives you plenty of time to save for the trip and find the best deals. Create a clear outline of how much money you will have to save and decide if you should wait till next summer to plan your vacation.

Factor in Travel Costs

Travel costs are another essential factor in your budget. Out-of-state guests will have to budget for airfare. The best way to save money is to book your flight as early as possible. We also recommend doing your research and comparing several sites before you book. If you are traveling from Pennsylvania, don’t forget to factor in the cost of gas and transportation.

Use Our End of Summer Special

Woodloch offers special packages and discounts for you to save money on your family vacation. This year we are offering an end-of-summer special where you can save 15% on your getaway from August 27th to September 2nd.

You can also Subscribe to Woodloch to keep up to date with last-minute deals and special offers throughout the year.

Your Poconos Summer Vacation Awaits

Experience Spring Kayaking in the Poconos

Spring has sprung at Woodloch! The snow is starting to melt, the sun is shining longer, and the mild temperature is perfect for outdoor adventures. When the ice on Lake Teedyuskung and the surrounding waterways thaws, we invite you to kick off spring with kayaking in the Poconos. Whether you want a relaxing day on the water or a challenging trip on the Delaware River, Woodloch is a short drive away from some of the best paddling in the Poconos.

Lake Wallenpaupack

Lake Wallenpaupack is the closest paddling destination to Woodloch, about a half an hour drive away. The 5,700-acre lake stretches 13 miles and provides on-site rentals for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. The calm water is ideal for families staying at Woodloch who want a relaxing day on the water.

Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River

The Upper Delaware River is considered one of the most popular paddling destinations in the Northeastern United States. The 73 mile stretch of water along the Pennsylvania and New York border has several access points to start your kayaking adventure in the Poconos.

If you prefer a guide to the river, we recommend signing up for a river trip with Kittatinny. They offer rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and tubing trips for all ages and skill levels. The trips will take you past beautiful scenery as you watch for wildlife like bald eagles, hawks, herons, ducks, and deer.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

The Delaware Water Gap offers fantastic kayaking in the Poconos. The water is known for being calm, quiet, and ideal for beginners and families. Rent your kayak, canoe, raft, or tube from Adventure Sports Inc or Edge of the Woods Outfitters.

Edge of the Woods Outfitters offers river trips perfect for families! All children ages 3-12 can raft for half price so that you can save money on your family adventure. Even though the trips are self-guided, they offer several routes four to sixteen miles long. Many people take breaks to swim, fish, or picnic. The adventure is up to you!

Poconos Spring Paddling Spots

Of course, if you don’t want to leave Woodloch, you can use our kayak rentals to paddle Lake Teedyuskung. Spend time outside on our quiet lake together and soak up that spring sunshine. Then take advantage of all the on-site family fun and activities throughout the year. We can’t wait to welcome your family to Woodloch!
