Planning Notes

• Learning is included. Sign the kids up for a Wolf Walk. Lead by staff members, kids learn about real-life habitats and behaviors of forest animals (including the wolf).
• Cub Club. Kids who want to take a break from all the excitement can grab a parent and head to this indoor space custom-made for arts and crafts. Sessions with instructors range in price, but supplies are always on hand for kids who just want to let their creativity flow.
• Guests-only access. Only guests of the resort have access to the waterpark, which tempts little ones year-round with perfectly heated water, nine slides, five pools and a giant waterfort. Towels are provided, but don't forget sunscreen for the outdoor section.
• Well-equipped rooms. Dozens of different Northwoods-themed suites available. Choose from a fireplace, a loft or a whirlpool some even come with their own cabin, Kamp or den. All rooms have mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers.
• Outdoor Adventures. The fun continues outside the waterpark with an outdoor recreation pool.
• Dining. Fine dining is fun dining with everything from poolside snacks to themed restaurants that feel like you're dining under the stars.
