Your room key does the heavy lifting. Aquatopia (indoor) is unlimited every day via your wristband, and the "Two Parks, One Stay" rate includes up to 4 Camelbeach (outdoor) tickets valid Mon–Fri — exactly your window. So both waterparks are effectively free. Camelbeach runs 10 AM–6 PM daily through Sept 7; buy all waterpark tickets online (no gate sales).

Depart NYC / NJ

~2-hour drive. Feed the kids before you go or grab something on the road — nothing on-property will be open when you arrive.

~11 PM

Late check-in → straight to bed

Front desk is staffed 24/7. Aquatopia and dining close well before 11, so tonight is just settle in and rest. No activity time lost — your three full days start fresh Monday.

Do this first: call the front desk a day or two ahead to flag the ~11 PM arrival and confirm both rooms are held — late check-ins can otherwise be released. Ask them to have wristbands ready at the desk.
Late AM

Sleep in, then Camelbeach Included Mon–Fri

After the late arrival, let everyone wake up naturally and roll in mid-morning. 37 rides & slides — thrill slides like Rival Racer & High Noon Typhoon, plus a lazy river and shallow zones. Grab a shaded table or cabana when you get there.

Ages 7 & 13: most big slides need ~48"; the 7-yr-old rides family attractions freely and taller slides once they clear the line.
1 PM

Lunch poolside, then back in

In-park dining or a walk back to the room to regroup. Weekday crowds are light in late August, so lines stay short.

Evening

Aquatopia wind-down + dinner Included

A short indoor session after Camelbeach closes at 6, then a relaxed dinner. Big first full day banked.

Morning

Mountain Coaster + Sunbowl tubing

The gravity coaster (up to 25 mph, you control the speed) is the crowd-pleaser, plus lift-served summer tubing — no snow needed.

Ages 7 & 13: the 13-yr-old rides the coaster solo; the 7-yr-old rides tandem with a parent. Confirm exact height minimums when booking.
Midday

TreeTops Aerial Adventure

PA's largest treetop course — rope bridges, climbs, and mini-ziplines across 3 difficulty levels, ~3 hours. The 13-year-old's highlight.

Ages 7 & 13: the 13-yr-old tackles higher courses; the 7-yr-old sticks to junior/lower levels (reach & harness fit apply).
Afternoon

Ziplines / Double Barrel racing

1,000-ft and 4,000-ft lines; the Double Barrel lets two race side by side. Or swap in the new 18-hole mini-golf for a mellower option.

Note: ziplines usually carry a weight/height minimum the 7-yr-old may not meet — plan mini-golf or the coaster for them here.
Evening

Resort pool + dinner Included

Legs are tired — soak, eat, arcade tokens, early night.

Estimated add-on total $0

Waterparks aren't here because they're already included. Book Mountain Adventure Park tickets online in advance — they sell timed entry.

Option A

Repeat the hit + real downtime Included

Back to whichever waterpark the kids loved most (both still covered), slower pace, pool lounging. Honors the downtime you wanted.

Option B

Off-property day trip

All within ~30 min: Bushkill Falls ("Niagara of PA," easy family trails), historic Jim Thorpe town + scenic train, or The Crossings Premium Outlets for the grown-ups. Nice mid-trip change of scenery.

Evening

Farewell Aquatopia swim + final dinner Included

Since you're out the door at 8 AM Thursday, make tonight the last splash — Aquatopia runs late. Then final dinner, check the events sheet for a campfire or live music, and pack the car before bed.

7 AM

Wake, load the car, grab-and-go breakfast

Everything's packed from last night. Coffee & light bites from the lobby Café & Bar (La Colombe) on the way out. Drop keys at the 24/7 desk.

8 AM

On the road home

Early start beats the traffic — back in NYC/NJ by mid-morning. No swim missed: the waterparks don't open until ~10, which is why last night was the farewell splash.

Included vs. paid — no surprises

Covered by your stay

  • Aquatopia indoor waterpark — unlimited, all days
  • Camelbeach outdoor waterpark — up to 4 tickets, Mon–Fri
  • Arcadia Arcade access (games may use tokens)
  • Resort pools + complimentary shows, crafts, live music

Paid add-ons (book online ahead)

  • Mountain Coaster — per-ride or combo
  • TreeTops Aerial Adventure (~3 hrs)
  • Ziplines / Double Barrel — from ~$32/person
  • Sunbowl tubing · 18-hole mini-golf · UTV tours
Lock these before you go: (1) buy the Tuesday Mountain Adventure Park tickets online in advance — timed entry sells out; (2) confirm exact height/weight minimums for the coaster, ziplines, and TreeTops so the 7-year-old isn't turned away at something you paid for. The outdoor waterpark and mini-golf are the safe "everyone rides" fallbacks.
