I have always wanted to bring the kids to Great Wolf Lodge. I have read all the Great Wolf Lodge reviews out there and researched prices and dates, so when they reached out to offer a sneak preview of their new summer camp in program, I jumped at the chance. Our closest Great Wolf Lodge is in Massachusetts which is about a 2.5 hour car ride away from home. There are many other locations around the United States and can find the full list HERE.
I was given a complimentary stay in exchange for my review, however as always, all my opinions are my own. You can see my full disclosures HERE.
Great Wolf Lodge is famous for their indoor water park as well as a multitude of other activities making it the ideal place for families to go. Every season at Great Wolf Lodge brings about the addition of new activities, menu, and even changing uniforms for the staff members. This summer; Great Wolf Lodge is bringing the all new Summer Camp-In to their lineup.
So what can you expect from the all new Summer Camp-In event? Keep reading to check out my full Great Wolf Lodge Review: Summer Camp-In experience.
New Activities at Great Wolf Lodge
With the Summer Camp-In season comes the addition of the Trailblazer challenge which lets kids earn badges and rewards by participating in a variety of different activities. Here are some of the new activities being offered this summer.
Rubber Duck Races
With the new Summer Camp-In lineup comes new activities to their already established list of fun activities for the family. One activity in particular which the kids will love is the Rubber Duck Races. Each day, kids will have the opportunity to decorate a Rubber Duck that will go up against all the other Rubber Ducks decorated that day the next morning in a race to the finish down one of the water slides.
Not only is this activity fun, but the kids get the chance to win prizes if their duck is the first to cross the finish line.
Corn Hole in the Water Park
What kid doesn’t love playing corn hole. Well now they will get the chance to do so while in the water park. So in addition to all the slides, pools and play areas they can now have a little competition with the corn hole game!
Bracelet Making
Kids will also have the chance to decorate their own bracelets with beads and wold paw charms. This is a great way for kids to get a DIY moments from their trip to Great Wolf Lodge.
Campfire Ceremonies
There will be new campfires with face painting, S’mores, story time and a dance party under the stars. So after a full day of waterpark play and activities, this is a great way to end the evening!
New Menu at Great Wolf Lodge
One of the great things about Great Wolf Lodge is their food! They have restaurants on site which means as a family you can enjoy more fun time. This summer, they are adding their BBQ buffet to their restaurant where you can get all your BBQ favorites. Worried they won’t have anything your kids will eat? It includes both adult and kid time favorites (Mac and cheese and create your own baked potato bar).
In addition to new menu items, they have also included some very tasty adult beverages to the menu this summer.
New Room Decor
The theme for the suites is changing to reflect the Summer Camp-In event and it is absolutely amazing! The addition of the tepee tent is something that the kids will absolutely love!
New Great Wolf Lodge Character
Brinley the Bear will be joining the other characters for the summer camp-in celebration. You can join Wiley and Brinley for a character breakfast in the morning.
