New Camelback Winter Village and Tree Lighting on Dec 1

SANTA CLAUS KICKS OFF HOLIDAY MAGIC AT NEW CAMELBACK WINTER VILLAGE

Local First Responders Accompany Santa to Light Christmas Tree and New Weekend Winter Village Opens from December 1 through December 24

Camelback Resort is excited to announce the official start of the holiday season with an enchanting event at the new Camelback Winter Village. On Friday, December 1, from 7 to 9 p.m., the festivities kick off as Santa Claus descends from the tower bucket of Pocono Township Fire Department’s Engine 34 at the Kahuna Lagoon Wave Pool. Santa will then illuminate Camelback Resort's majestic 25-foot Christmas tree, and he won't be alone – local first responders and Marines supporting Toys for Tots of Monroe County will be by his side.

Starting on December 1 and continuing throughout the holiday season, Camelback Resort invites visitors from far and wide to experience the new weekend Winter Village. The snow-covered Winter Village, created at the resort's summer wave pool, will feature a variety of festive vendor "shops" adorned with red garlands and lights, including Just Between Friends – a children’s resale resource. Each weekend brings a different theme, with vendors selling arts, crafts, and gifts, fantastic holiday entertainment, family-centric activities, cozy firepits, delectable seasonal food and drinks, and an abundance of goodwill and holiday cheer. The Village will also host community service and give-back campaigns, including the Toys for Tots Drive, animal non-profit sponsorships, and recognition of first responders and other supporting organizations. Weekend hours are Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 1 to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
