camping place in poconos image

I would like to know your ideas because my student council is trying to find a new place to take our trip for the beginning of the school year so everyone can get to know each other and work together but still have fun while doing it. The place we normally go is called Pocono Plateau. It's like a huge rope course but most of the kids have already gone there in the past years. So any ideas would be helpful. THANKS!

It would be nice if it was a thing to do off of school property. The place we normally go is called Pocono Plateau.

How about offering your services to a Habitat for Humanity project in the area???????
If you don't like that idea, then I would suggest either calling a Human Resources Manager at a corporation near your OR going on line and googling "team building" ideas. Many corporations take their teams on 'retreats', combination of boot camp and office getaway. Paintball??? Have a more "FUN" trip (water park, etc) at the end of the year as a "thank you, what a great job".

Best place in the Poconos to rent a cabin/house/apartment for a week in August?
DBM
My family (my wife and me, our daughter and her husband and our young adult son) are interested in renting a cabin and/or house and/or apartment in the Poconos for a week in August. Although we would love something rustic, we would like to be at a lake and with a pool. It would be best if there was good hiking nearby as well. Where is the best location to look?
Answer
DBM,
I can tell you where NOT to stay! That's Split Rock Resort. They have had a lot of financial problems over the past 10yrs and the place has really gotten run down.
The rooms are old and out-dated in the Galleria and even if you get in to Willow Brook (newer townhouses - but those units can have water problems) the ammenities are lousy and can have unpredictable hours. They put in a new water park just a couple of years ago, but it's over priced and kinda cheesy.
If you mean August of 2014 - My vote would be Knoebels! http://www.knoebels.com/index.php/camping They have tent camping and they also have really neat cabins! And Knoebel's is a great place for a family vacation. It's an amusement park, so I don't think it qualifies as "rustic", but c'mon! Who doesn't like to camp in the middle of an amusement park! I think the best time is early in the morning - you can walk thru the park before it opens and see all the stuff you don't get a chance to see when there's a bazillion people in the park! There are other things to do in the area, you don't have to do *just* Knoebels. You can do all kinds of other day trips.
It's not exactly in "The Pocono's" but my husband and I really enjoy going over to World's End State Park. They have rustic cabins you can rent that are really nice. They have a stove, fridge and elec, but no water and heat is a wood stove. Great hiking trails, good fishing. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/worldsend/index.htm
I've never gone, but I hear Great Wolf is kid friendly! http://www.greatwolf.com/poconos/waterpark
