Camelback Resort in Pennsylvania’s Poconos takes up to 15% off adventure activities, skiing and snow tubing included, and up to 15% off lodging for first responders. GovX does the verifying, and Camelback says you need to be verified before you book.
Camelback’s page describes 39 trails at Camelback Mountain, with nighttime skiing after sunset, and the resort sells a lot more than lift tickets: waterparks, a mountain adventure park, snow tubing and lodging. The first responder offer reaches most of it, which makes this one more useful for a family trip than a single-day ticket deal.
How To Get The Camelback Resort First Responder Discount
- Open Camelback’s military and first responder page and pick what you’re booking: ski and ride, snow tubing, one of the waterparks, the mountain adventures, or a room.
- Choose the Get Verified button for that category and verify through GovX. Camelback’s page says you must be verified through GovX to get the lodging and adventure discounts.
- Book after you’re verified. The page says verification is now required before booking, so don’t reserve first and verify later.
- For a room, have a valid ID ready at guest services or check-in. The page says it’s available for all room types.
The page says the discounts are for first responders and up to three dependents, and the lift ticket page repeats the three-dependent limit.
Who The Page Names
Camelback’s page names law enforcement, firefighters and EMS or EMTs as first responders. It doesn’t say whether volunteers, dispatchers or corrections officers qualify, so the GovX verification step is where that gets decided. GovX’s own list is further down.
What GovX Lists For The Slopes
GovX’s Camelback page shows its own figures, and they are more specific than the resort’s “up to 15%”: 10% off season ski passes, up to 15% off lift tickets and 15% off snow tubing. Treat those as GovX’s side of the offer and the resort’s page as Camelback’s side. The two agree on 15% as the top number, and the total at checkout is the one that counts.
The lodging discount is the same shape: “up to 15%,” with no single room rate. If a ski weekend is the plan, price the room both ways, with the discount and without, and check whether another promotion on the same dates is better, because Camelback’s page doesn’t say discounts stack.
Who GovX Counts
GovX’s eligibility page says you’re eligible if you’re a federal, state or local law enforcement officer. It lists state police and highway patrol, sheriff’s departments, city police departments and correctional facilities, plus federal agencies that include the FBI, ATF, DEA, BOP and U.S. Marshals under the Department of Justice and ICE, TSA, CBP and Air Marshals under Homeland Security.
Firefighters qualify if they’re full-time or volunteer, and GovX lists municipal fire departments, the National Parks Service, the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. For emergency medical workers, GovX’s page says you’re eligible if you work directly in emergency medicine, and it names EMTs and paramedics.
GovX says that once you join, you get a GovX ID you can use to verify at partner websites, and that you don’t have to upload documents or share sensitive information: you log in with your GovX ID and GovX handles the authentication.
