Face Masks are Required!

As mandated by the State of Pennsylvania, anyone entering the Resort is required to wear a face covering or mask at all times. Masks will be available to guests upon request.

Strengthened Masking Order

On Tuesday, November 17, the Wolf Administration has identified new mitigation efforts for Covid-19. Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine strengthens the initial mask order from April 15 with these inclusions.

– Masks are required to be worn indoors and outdoors if you are away from your home.
– When outdoors, a mask must be worn if you are not able to remain physically distant (at least 6 feet away) from someone not in your household the entire time you are outdoors.
– When indoors, masks will now be required even if you are physically distant from members not in your household. This means that even if you are able to be 6 feet apart, you will need to wear a mask while inside if with people other than members of your household.
– This order applies to every indoor facility, including homes, retail establishments, gyms, doctors’ offices, public transportation, and anywhere food is prepared, packaged or served.
