“With the start of our 25th birthday celebration, there’s no better time than the summer of 2022 to experience all the fun of our Summer Camp-In celebration at Great Wolf Lodge,” said Brooke Patterson, senior vice president of brand experiences, Great Wolf Lodge. “Spending quality family time together is important, and with our lodges just a short drive away from many families and schools on summer break, we can offer a fun-filled, quick family getaway this summer to help families reconnect and escape for a moment from their everyday lives.”

The Summer Camp-In programming includes:
- Splash & Dance Pool Party with tWitch and Allison: In a partnership with Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Allison Holker, there’s a new pool party experience this summer at Great Wolf Lodge, with dances, games and more. The final dance is an exclusive TikTok-friendly dance choreographed by tWitch and Allison.
- Character Appearances: Meet Wiley the Wolf, Violet Wolf and more throughout the day, with autographs and photo opportunities available.
- Trailblazer Challenge: Campers sign up for select activities — like family trivia, bean bag toss, Wolfercise, friendship bracelet making and more — and earn badges for each one they complete. When they earn five badges, they receive the title of Trailblazer.
- Arts & Crafts: Activities include creating your own button making, sponge painting, birthday cards and more.
- Family-Friendly Fitness Programming: YogaTails and Wolfercise allow the family to stay fit.
- Campfire Ceremony: As each day ends, guests gather in the lobby for a sing-along, show, competitions, crafts, a dance party and Storytime, a beloved Great Wolf Lodge tradition.
Great Wolf Lodge also supports Confetti Foundation this summer. Confetti Foundation coordinates birthday parties for children in hospitals, pediatric oncology clinics or hospice facilities. For every purchase of the specialty birthday drink and slice of chocolate birthday cake, $1, up to $50,000, will benefit the Confetti Foundation. During craft time, guests can color birthday cards for the children.
