I *hated* it. Because my parents and grandparents got to do fun stuff and eat really good food, and I had to go to the kid's camp and eat hotdogs. One dinner per trip, they would allow me to eat dinner with the adults.

What none of the articles mention is that the Simon Says shows became the only exercise anyone got during their stay at the resort. Pretty much, all there was to do was eat, and change clothes for the next meal.

Rumor has it that the Homowack has been sold to investors connected to the Skvere chassidim, and they will continue running it as a hotel.... Still OU, but no more mixed swimming, OK most of us who read chowhound don't look so great in a bathing suit anyway!
But will they start serving some geshmakke treats... overnight kugel? Ptsha for kiddush? Heimishe soup instead of the pale yellow soup base ersatz chicken soup with jarred matzo balls? Three types of gefilte fish..... Toi'amehoo on Friday afternoon? There is a heimishe caterer in New Square who makes fabulous heimishe food, and even the more elegant salads the balebattish party planners require.
Now that would make it a hotel worth going to.You have to wonder about a hotel whose saving grace is an "Automatic" Bowling Alley ( ... )
