Do I need to bring swimmies or a life jacket for my little one?

You may, but please know that the floatation devices you bring must meet US Coast Guard standards, so air-filled swimmies are not sufficient. However, we have plenty of life jackets available throughout the park, free for your use! Speaking of swimmer safety, please observe all height restrictions, and take comfort in knowing that Camelbeach Outdoor Waterpark is 100% compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act.

Do you provide wheelchair rentals?

Most of our food outlets are centrally located right in the heart of the park, making it convenient to satisfy the choosiest eaters. View Dining Options

What do I do if I need a bandage?

Not to worry! If you need a bandage or medical attention for any reason, First-Aid is located adjacent to Pipeline and is always staffed. At any given moment, Camelbeach employs over 200 staff members throughout the waterpark, trained for emergencies and ready to answer any questions. Our award-winning lifeguard team is specifically trained and frequently audited by an independent company to ensure that service and safety standards are practiced.

What if it is cloudy or drizzling? What if there is lightning in the area?

Cloudy or rainy days are great days to visit Camelbeach Waterpark! The lines are usually so short, you’ll think you’re the only one in the park. Plus, all our water rides are kept at a comfortable temperature level, so if you’re contemplating a weekend getaway and the day’s forecast isn’t perfect… think of those short lines and enjoy your time at the biggest waterpark in PA!

Our state-of-the-art weather alert system is for your safety, while our weather warranty will guarantee your satisfaction. While we don’t offer a refund on tickets, we do make your visit risk free by assuring you that if we must suspend operations due to lightning in the area for more than 90 minutes, no later than 2 hours before park closure, we can reactivate your Camelbeach ticket for another day in the same operating season.

All members of your party must be present with their proof of admission and all their belongings, as receiving the return visit ticket will forfeit the rest of your day’s visit.

What if my family becomes separated?

While we have attentive staff and a great system in place, nothing beats having your own plan. Right in the heart of our park, you’ll find a five-foot tall, stone Camel Statue lying on the sand underneath the palm trees. This is a perfect place to rendezvous in the event that you unintentionally become separated from your loved ones.

Here are some helpful hints right from our Security Team:

  • Take a deep breath…we’re on it! Most individuals are reunited within fifteen minutes.
  • As a family or group, pre-determine a meeting area in the event that you become separated.
  • If you are coming to the park with young children, take a moment to identify the various staff members and uniforms that you see. Also, take the extra minute to remind your children what you are wearing, as this will greatly assist our efforts in picking you out from the crowd.
  • Did we mention to take a deep breath? There is only one way in and one way out, and the exit is always staffed.

Unfortunately, it’s not all that uncommon for family or group members to become separated from one another while at Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark – it’s a good-sized park, and there are many enticing distractions, like ice cream and waterslides. Fortunately, Camelbeach has a fantastic, attentive staff, and we have a great procedure in place to minimize any anxiety and to expedite a happy reunion.

Camelbeach staff members are easily identifiable; each and every park manager wears a light blue golf shirt and carries a radio. Lifeguards and waterpark attendants wear either red or blue swimsuits with well-branded T-shirts, and our security team is dressed in orange Camelbeach t-shirts which read SECURITY across the front. All these team members, including our food and beverage department, are in constant communication.

As soon as any staff member recognizes that an individual may have become separated from a group, or has that “uh-oh, I-can’t-find-my-parents” look in their eyes, we will immediately call by radio to Security. Without hesitation, one of our security members (we have both male and female) will go to the individual and stay with them until they are reunited. Security will go with the individual to the Camel Statue.

What is a cabana?

Did somebody say CABANA? One of our 43 private cabanas is absolutely the ideal spot to set up shop with your family. Cabanas are conveniently located around the Kahuna Lagoon Wavepool, Pharaoh’s Phortress, and the Olympic Pool. These Cabanas come in three sizes; regular sized cabanas that accommodate up to six people, premium cabanas that accommodate up to eight people and VIP cabanas can accommodate up to twelve people.

Am I allowed on the mountain without ski gear?

No, anyone without proper ski or snowboard equipment is not allowed on the lifts.

Should I rent or borrow equipment?

While borrowing a friend’s skis or snowboard sounds like a good way to save money, having properly fit gear is well worth it. You need gear that is appropriate for your skill level and that has been tested and maintained for safety and performance. Rentals will give you a much better experience. Not to mention, you don’t have to schlep rental equipment all over the place. You simply return it at the end of your day!

Are children's ski/snowboard lessons available? Where are they held?

Yes, we offer Children’s Lessons through Camelback Ski & Ride Academy. Children’s Lessons take place Monday – Friday | Ski & Ride Academy in Mountain Village and Saturday, Sunday and Holidays | Kids Learning Center at Adventure Base Camp.

Children and their families will be permitted inside to get their rentals after getting their tickets from the kiosks outside. Lessons should be purchased online ahead of time.

Ski boots are weird, how do I know I have the right fit?

Ski (and Snowboard) boots should be snug without being uncomfortable. They should feel like a strong hug or firm handshake without being tight or painful. Both kinds of boots are stiffer than a regular shoe for both performance and safety purposes. One key to success is the correct sock! Changing into a dry, mid-weight technical sock when you put on your boots can make a huge difference in how long your feet stay warm and dry. Also, make sure your sock is not bunched up.

Are group and private lessons available for adults or families?

Yes, and yes again! Under the Camelback Ski & Ride Academy, we have Group Lessons for teens and adults, and Group Lessons for families looking to learn together in a private setting. These lessons will be located at Ski and Ride Academy at Mountain Village (Camelback Ski Mountain Base Area). These lessons are available for purchase online.

What are my responsibilities?

  • Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
  • People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.
  • Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
  • Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.
  • You must prevent runaway equipment.
  • Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.
  • Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
  • You must know how and be able to load, ride and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.
  • Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.
  • If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

At each and every ski resort, this Skier Responsibility Code is taken very seriously. Any failure to ski responsibly, and to use good judgment and common sense, can result in the revocation of skiing privileges. There typically isn’t much tolerance for those who disobey the rules. Be aware, that in many cases, state law becomes involved in flagrant violation of boundary restrictions and unreported collisions. View Our Mountain Safety Page

Most importantly, if everyone follows the Responsibility Code and adheres to these basic safety tips, a good and safe time can be had by everyone on the slopes.

Are group and private lessons available for adults or families?

Yes, and yes again! Under the Camelback Ski & Ride Academy, we have Group Lessons for teens and adults, and Group Lessons for families looking to learn together in a private setting. We also off private lessons for anyone ages 4+. These lessons will be located at Ski and Ride Academy at Mountain Village (Camelback Ski Mountain Base Area). These lessons are available for purchase online.

What are your equipment rental suggestions?

Boot Fitting:

Both ski and snowboard boots are designed to hold your foot snugly to the surface of your skis or snowboard. Any movement of the foot within the boot translates into loss of control and lessens performance.

For the best fit, make sure you:

  • Wear only one pair of socks.
  • Pull up your pant gaiter and the cuff of your first layer.
  • Do not tuck your first layer into your boots.

Ski Boots are engineered to fit snugly. The critical area is the heel, which needs to be held tightly into the “heel cup” of the boot. Slide your foot into the boot, making sure that the tongue is pulled forward and out of the way. Push downwards on the heel of the boot to properly set your heel into the cup. Latch the buckles to a comfortable tightness, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Buckles may be readjusted after all have been fastened. Pay particular attention to the buckles on top of the instep of the foot as they hold your heel in place. When you stand up, your toes should have just enough room to wiggle. Press into the front of the boot by bending your knees. If your heel lifts up and out of the heel cup, the boots are too big. Camelback staff can be found in most locations throughout the ski resort and will be happy to assist you.

Snowboard boots fit differently than ski boots. First you open the boot bladder wide and slide your foot into the boot. Use the pull loops to get the boot onto your foot. Slide the lace lock down while tightening the inner laces until the fit is snug but comfortable. Now tighten the outer laces as tight as possible. If done properly, your toes will almost be touching the end of the boot. Stand up, bend your knees and make sure your toes are snug, but not cramped. Make sure your heel is being grabbed by the boot bladder and not lifting. As always, if you have questions or need assistance, look for any of our staff in an orange jacket or Blue Jacket with the Camelback Mountain logo. They can be found all around the ski resort and will be happy to assist you.

Ski/Snowboard Length:

Correct length is a correlation of your height, weight and ability level. Modern shaped skis and snowboards turn much more easily than those of just a few years ago.

Are You Goofy?

Snowboarders have to decide on their stance on the board. Most people are right-foot dominant, meaning their right leg is their “balance” foot. In this case, the right foot goes in the back binding, facing the rider to the right on the board. This is known as a “regular” stance. Some people are left-foot dominant, and ride facing the left side of the board…this is known as “goofy” stance. Here’s how to tell which foot is dominant before you even set foot on the ski resort. If you run and slide on a linoleum floor in your socks, whichever foot goes second is your balance foot. This is the foot that does most of the work by supporting the majority of your weight.

Helmets:

Most snowboarders choose to wear helmets for a variety of reasons. Because beginner boarders tend to fall backwards a lot, helmets should be strongly considered. Advanced boarders like to do tricks which greatly increases the level of risk in the sport. Beginner skiers; however, tend to ski at slow speeds, and falls are usually forward or to one side. We suggest that you consider helmet use and make an informed, educated decision.

Can I bring my own food?

Outside food & beverage is not permitted in restaurant and concession seating areas. These areas are for mountain’s Food and Beverage use only. There is no glass whatsoever allowed at the base of the mountain. We do allow sealed bottles of water and baby formula (as long as it’s not in a glass container).

What can I expect from my instructor?

Camelback Resort staffs the most talented and inspiring, professionally trained, ski and snowboard instructors who are dedicated to sharing their passion for these energizing winter sports. You’ll learn the skills you need in the learning area that you’ll use on the slopes. Our children’s lessons and group lessons are beginner lessons that teach you the basics of skiing or riding. As you continue on your journey in snowsports, private lessons are available to work on specific skills. Your instructor will ask what your goals are for the lesson and work with you to achieve those goals.

Can I reserve equipment in advance online?

Yes, you can reserve your equipment online as well as pre-register for the equipment.

What do we do if we purchase a snowboard lesson, but decide we want to do a ski lesson and vice versa?

Please contact the Ski and Ride Academy. They will be able to let you know if there is availability to switch the lesson.

Can I reuse my Adventure Card year after year?

Absolutely! Your Adventure Card is designed to last. Hold onto it between trips, and you can reload it each time you visit—whether it’s for skiing, snowboarding snowtubing, or mountain adventures.

What is an adventure card?

An adventure card is a reloadable card that you get at a kiosk for your adventures like skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and mountain adventures. Your card is linked to your profile, so any new purchases will automatically attach to it, and you can enjoy the mountain again without having to stop at a kiosk!

Can I see my child in the children's lesson?

Yes, parents can watch the lesson. Both children's learning areas offer viewing of the lessons. View directions.

What is the age group for Children's Lessons?

Nope! Once you complete your online purchase, your ticket is automatically added to your Adventure Card and you will be all set.

What kind of shape do I have to be in to hit the slopes?

Skiing and snowboarding can be very physically demanding sports. If you are an athletic person that plays sports, chances are that you are in pretty good condition to ski or ride. Just remember to pace yourself. You do not have to push yourself to the limits. If you get tired, take a break and catch your breath, this way you can get your second wind and get out there again and again.

Do lessons come with a locker?

Lessons do not come with a locker. Lockers are available on property on a first come first serve basis.

What should I expect at our Pocono Ski Resort?

You’ve made it to the snow! Now the fun begins. The instructors at our ski resort are trained to do one thing…teach. All our instructors are trained to teach first-time lessons in a very specific, effective method. You’ll start out by doing exercises to develop your balance and get you accustomed to the feeling of sliding, with a focus on teaching you to feel the ski or snowboards “edge.” Edge control is what the game is all about. By going through these simple exercises, you will quickly learn how to do the two rudimentary actions needed to progress…stopping when and where you want and turning when and where you want.

You shouldn’t expect miracles your first time out. As we’ve said earlier, it takes three lessons for most people to reach the point where they can start to explore the mountain a little bit.

Ski & Ride Academy

Adaptive Programs

Stay Focused:

It’s important that you pay attention to your instructor. While the exercises may seem a bit repetitive, they are important in the big picture. Not everyone learns at the same pace, mostly because some people are naturally more athletic than others. Those who enjoy summer activities like surfing, skating or skateboarding will have a distinct edge over those who don’t, but you can do it!

Do you offer free tickets for toddlers?

Yes, Camelback Resort offers FREE tickets for Tiny Tots (5 & under). For tiny tot tickets please visit guest services with your child. Please be advised you will not receive a ticket if you do not have the child present with you and proof of their age may be required. Tiny Tots passes do not apply to snow tubing. All tiny tot passes are not valid for those who turn 6 on or after December 31st.

What should I expect for my lesson?

As a beginner, you should have reasonable expectations about your first day out on the mountain. Hopefully, many of the things below will give you a better idea of what to expect, but there are some important basics to be prepared for:

  • Pace yourself and set reasonable expectations, focus on fun.
  • Learning something new is not always easy, but it will be rewarding and exciting when you succeed.
  • Everyone learns at a different pace.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask your instructor questions, they are there to help you learn.

Do you offer full day or half day lessons for children?

Currently we do offer half day lessons for children and you can purchase both a morning and an afternoon session. Explore more here.

What should I keep in mind in terms of safety?

The important thing to remember is not to overdo it. We don’t recommend a trip to the top of the mountain after your first visit…you probably won’t be ready for it. Spend some time on our ski resort’s learning trails practicing the exercises you learned in your lesson. Save the trip to the top for another day, when you’re more prepared. View Our Mountain Safety Page

Avoid clothing that absorbs water, such as denim jeans or knit gloves. Choose wool or synthetic socks instead, and skip cotton socks. If these articles of clothing get wet, they will not dry fast. Just remember Wet = Cold and Cold = No Fun.

Where can I find information on snow conditions?

How do I know the difficulty levels of the mountain trails?

Ski resorts across the country use a universal trail rating system. It’s your responsibility to stay on terrain that you can handle and avoid terrain that you cannot handle. The rating system utilizes four shapes to designate trail difficulty:

Skis:

Your other hand is free to carry your poles (and boots unless you’ve changed footwear at your car). When indoors or near other people, carry the skis upright, with the tips pointing up and your hand below the binding toe piece.

Snowboard:

Boarders have the advantage of more comfortable boots. Tuck your board under one arm like a stack of books and you’re on your way.

If I purchase a beginner package, can I upgrade my beginner lift ticket if I’m feeling adventurous?

What should I wear for snow tubing?

HERE’S WHAT WE RECOMMEND IN THE COLDER MONTHS.

Pants:
Insulated snow pants and a snug fitting base layer (long underwear) are highly recommended for your comfort. By the way, don’t tuck your pants into your boots. Snow pants are designed to fit over the tops of your boots. The only things that go inside your boots are your feet and your socks. Good waterproof pants are invaluable!

Tops:
A long-sleeved shirt (a turtle neck is a great idea) with a sweater and medium weight jacket offers a variety of options should the temperature change on the ski resort. On very cold days, a layer of long underwear worn on the upper body is a great insulator and may always be removed if conditions warrant. A winter jacket with armpit vents can be very effective at regulating body temperature.

Cover your head!

Your body loses 80% of its heat through your head. A hat is essential! A warm wool or fleece hat is ideal. Don’t sweat “hat hair”… you can fix it after the last run and before you head out for drinks and dinner.

Footwear:
Wear one pair of light to medium weight socks! Also we recommend you wear boots/warm waterproof shoes. Your boots are designed to keep you warm. Don’t cut off circulation to your toes or start your feet sweating with heavy socks. You may want to bring an extra pair to swap out during the day to keep you comfortable.

Gloves/Mittens:

Personal preference rules here. Generally, mittens are warmer but restrict dexterity. Glove liners (available in our shop) are a viable option for some. Boarders tend to prefer long, waterproof mittens. Hand warmers (also available in our shop) are single-use pouches that produce heat for several hours and are used inside gloves or mittens.

Neck Wear:

Leave the long woolen scarf your grandmother knit for you at home. You’re much better off with a neck warmer, a non-allergenic fleece tube that slips over the head and keeps your neck toasty warm. This wonderful, inexpensive piece of apparel is actually long enough to be pulled up to cover your chin, mouth and nose.

Winter Weather:

Insulated long underwear or base layer is priceless. The best ones are made of high-tech synthetic materials, but inexpensive cotton-poly blends work fine as well.

Where is the Snow Tubing Park located and how do I get there?
