New this summer, select resorts host Sunset Social Club, a premium outdoor space complete with lawn games, fire pits and refreshing cocktails. In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, select resorts partner with Nathan’s Famous on a limited-time Hot Dog Days of Summer menu. A culinary road trip of sorts, the menu draws inspiration from locations throughout the country with items including a New England Dog topped with lobster salad and a Southwest Dog topped with pico de gallo, roasted jalapeños and avocado. All resorts feature seasonal food and beverage offerings, from summer salads to refreshing cocktails.
There is no shortage of family fun, with activities for guests of all ages. Just like at summer camp, young guests may take part in arts and crafts. The Craft of the Day ranges from making friendship bracelets to creating personalized pennants.
