Travel Tips

Up your virtual learning game with Grand Geneva Resort & Spa and Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark. Both launched new programs and offers to support and meet the needs of families while they work, study and take a recess break.

 

Speaking of recess, experience one of the best you’ve ever had with Grand Geneva’s Recess Schoolcation Getaway, including overnight accommodations and a box lunch from the executive chef featuring kid favorites like Towering Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. The offer also includes a morning and afternoon snack break; a recess break mid-afternoon; four waterpark passes to Moose Mountain Falls Waterpark; and late check-out. Children grades 1 through 12 can complete school work in a monitored schoolroom 7 a.m.–3 p.m.

 

Or, students can try the Schoolcation offer from Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark — who doesn’t want to go to school at a waterpark? The package includes overnight accommodations in a suite with kitchen; box lunch; and morning, afternoon and recess breaks. A monitored schoolroom offers students a place to complete classwork, and the four included waterpark passes will be perfect for blowing off that after-school steam.

 

Or, parents and kids can opt for the resorts’ other available activities after the work and school day is done, like archery, nature trails, an indoor climbing wall, horseback riding, mountain biking, arcade games, skiing and snowboarding.
