Love Camelback Resort for its exhilarating winter activities? You’ll find the same thrills with the summer sun kissing your skin. In fact, Father’s Day weekend is a great time to kick off vacation season with a getaway that you’ll want to repeat before school starts up again.
Nestled in the scenic Pocono Mountains, Camelback, in Tannersville, Pa., is less than a 90-minute drive from Somerset County and ideal for multi-generational family adventures.
Here are some highlights. Ready to go? We are too!
