New at Camelbeach This Season: Rival Racer and Swim Lessons

Camelbeach’s new Rival Racer is being launched as part of the season-opening fanfare. Rival Racer is where sliders race each other through twists and turns on enclosed tracks – designed for sliders who want to compete and race to the bottom of a slide that rushes 5,600 gallons of water per minute down a 400-foot slide with a vertical drop of 54 feet of eight twisting, turning, dropping, closed individual chutes converging at three different rallying points and at the finish line. There are 37 fantastic mountainside waterpark slides and rides, including Blue Nile Adventure River with its waterfalls, geysers and bubbling water; Dune Runner that accommodates up to four guests per tube; Titan, the world’s largest water slide of its kind; and Mummy’s Oasis for family play with boogie boards and flow boarding.

On Thursday, June 22, this favorite Poconos’ waterpark, the largest in Pennsylvania, kicks off its new Summer Swim Lessons with “The World’s Greatest Swim Lesson” – a special huge launch lesson to be held at the Olympic Pool – and then swimmers can enjoy the rest of the day at Camelbeach. Registration is capped at 50 participants. Regular 45-minute swimming lessons will continue once a week on Thursdays at 9 a.m.
