Snowtube in Giant Proportions
Camelback launched Galactic Snowtubing last December. As the largest snowtubing park in the United States, is it an illuminated magi- cal after-dark experience. Features include lasers, music and an awesome LED light show shining across 42 high-speed lanes.
Snowtubing is ideal for groups. Not everyone skis or snowboards, so individuals attending a meeting or special event who are not so athletic are delighted to snowtube – and this after-dark addition transforms the experience into something even more special.
Another service gaining attention at Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay is a meeting planner room manager. “The planner has access to our system and their roominventory,”explains Katzman. “Changes and replacements can be made at any time.We are here to make meetings a joy.”
A plum property of the Pocono
Mountains is Camelback Resort in Tannersville, PA,which was voted num- ber one resort in Pennsylvania four years in a row by SnowEastmagazine. The resort offers themost expansive ski- ing and snowboarding terrain in the area, and the biggest snowtubing park in America. Lights galore enable skiers to enjoy slopes at night and trails are designed for anyone from beginner to pro. It is a resort made for “getting away from it all” while bringing the family along,as well.
“What’s nice is everything a group needs for meetings, events and accom- panying retreats is right here at Camelback,” extols Michelle Wescott, director of group sales for the resort. “We’re not merely a winter resort. Spring, fall and summer are filled with incredible options.We have mountain adventures and numerous activities for

incentive travel and as sales team rewards.”
Camelback’s Terrain Park and Progres- sion Park are two examples. Terrain Park spans five trails, each filled with challenges for skiers and riders to rel- ish. Progression Park is the place to start acquiring skills needed to prepare for more daring endeavors. Its features are low to the ground, provide gentle land- ings and have a mellow milieu that is focused on fun.
Folks like to try them again and again as their skills improve.
Appalachian Express Coaster zooms down mountains through trees and steep slopes at the resort. Climbing aboard Camelback’s signature 4,500- foot steel-track coaster requires no experience, but an adventuresome atti- tude is certainly an asset. Making mem- ories is what this ride is all about.
Wescott speaks avidly about the versatil- ity of Camelback Resort. “The hotel is the hub and activities branch out from here. There is something to do from the minute a group arrives. If there is a meeting, we make sure participants have plenty of chances to unplug dur-
ing their stay. We just built a brand new Base Camp Lodge with food and beverage inside and two outdoor fire pits. We had a Sip and Paint team building event last fall by one of the fire pits where the group painted pumpkins and drank wine.”
“Our Serenity Spa is strategically situat- ed to provide amazing mountain views. Alternatively, groups can hold before and after parties in ourWater
Park.And there are eight restaurants on-site to include as part of a planner’s agenda. From fine dining to barbecue to waffles - we have it. Thus,what groups have is a remarkable retreat,”she concludes.
If an escape from the everyday is the goal, then the Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond in St.Michaels,MD is an inspi- rational landing spot.
Wrapped in glorious resplendence, the idyllic manor house resort and spa is centered on lavish gardens that mean- der all the way to Eastern Shore waters. The pastoral retreat is classified as one of the best luxury resorts in Maryland. Though it is only a short drive from Washington,DC and less than two hours from Baltimore and Philadelphia, once a group settles in here, it’s as if they are
