Summer in the Poconos

There are endless things to do in the Poconos in the summer.

Summer is the perfect time to plan a Pocono vacation at one of our many family resorts or adults only hideaways. Lakes such as Lake Wallenpaupack, rivers and waterparks welcome swimming and splashing while zip lines and adventure courses fuel high-flying fun for all. Races, concerts and celebrations fill the days as campfires and fireworks light up the nights. What festivals and fun will you enjoy during the 93 days of summer vacation season? Visit our calendar of events for a full schedule of things to do in Poconos in summer!
