Ari's Yeshiva Family Group Deals

Chanuka 2025
Kalahari Waterpark

The Deal:

  • ROOM BOOKING LINK 
  • Whatsapp group link for people staying chanukah click here 
  • Rates are good for 12/14-12/23 
  • (This is NOT for shabbos. Kalahari is not shabbos-friendly. I’m working on a DIY shabbos nearby. Stay tuned on the PSA chat for any developments). 
  • You can stay any number of nights
  • Standard room include 6 guests (usually $50 more per guest over 4!!) 2 BR suites include 8 guests. 
  • Waterpark access on the full day you check in and till 3pm on the day of check out (3pm has never been enforced). Check in time begins at 4:00pm. However, come early to pre-register as early as 10AM. You can start using the Waterpark then. Check out at 11:00am
  • Resort fee has been reduced to $19.99 (from $44.99) for our group!
  • Complimentary WiFi and Self Parking
  • A room will be provided for menorah lighting (please limit to only one per family) and minyan use (ONLY), sefer torah will be brought by Chabad of the Mountains (make sure to DONATE🧐 ). 
  • PSA’s and minyan times will be posted in the whatsapp chat PSA Kalahari Chat click here to join or check the minyan tab on this site. It is safe to assume there will be minyan 12/21,22, 23. That is when the peak amount of people will be there. However, the yeshiva is Canadensis 15 min away, a good backup for the other days in case there aren’t enough. 
  • PRO TIP: If you’re going with another family or two, instead of spending money on late checkout (which costs over $150 is only till 2pm), split a standard room for the next night. It gives you a home base to let babies nap, feed your kids and shower them before heading home. 
  • If we come up with $1,000 worth of orders, Holy Schnitzel of Roseland is willing to deliver for a fee. Stay tuned on the chat or on the kosher food tab on this sight

WARNING

-I was unable to get separate swim hours in the waterpark. there is not enough demand now. 

The hotel has set aside a certain number of rooms and once they are sold, they will not continue to open rooms at the group rate. This is not a sales tactic. The early birds will get the worm.

-Cooking is not allowed in the rooms. Anything that creates any smoke (even steam like a Betty Crocker) can be picked up by their sensors and can lead to hefty fines. Use prepared food and warm it in a Hot Logic or similar warmer. 

– Chillul hashem warning: please respect the posted parking rules. There were plenty of Odyssey’s and Sienna’s with jewish camp magnets parked illegally last year. They asked that I tell you all to respect the rules.  

– If you cancel more than 72 hours before arrival, there is a $30 fee. If you cancel less than 72 hours before arrival, you lose the entire deposit. 

PM me with any questions that Kalahari reservations can’t answer.

Catered shabbos options will be available at Bushkill Inn and a DIY (do-it-yourself) shabbos is in the works. Stay tuned here or on the big PSA chat for updates. 

For Bushkill, whatsapp me (917 363 4720). For DIY, stay tuned here or on the chat for details.
