January 18-20: Snow Tubing

We will be departing Middletown on Friday night and arriving in the Poconos  . Bring a bag dinner or eat before coming to departure location (to be determined along with leaving time)
While in the Poconos we will have the opportunity to swim in an indoor pool, snow tube and play basketball, football, soccer and play board games. Please bring a soccer ball, football or basketball along with any board games you enjoy with you.
Snowtubing is available in 3 hour increments at a fee of 35.00 per session. We are thinking that the boys will tube on Saturday and Sunday before heading home.  CHeck your email for cooking sign up sheets,
We are also close to Bushkill Falls so depending on the weather a hike is also an option.  This is the Poconos People the sky is the limit!!
The total cost we are planning for is 90.00 per Scout, if you Scout doesnt tube 2x your rate will be adjusted. 
Necessary supplies:
Sleeping bagpillowtowels for swimming and showeringsnow clothes boots, snow pants gloves hats etcbathing suitboard gamesoutdoor sports stuff soccer, football or basket ball
All other necessary personal gear and clothing.
Parents please be involved in packing for this. Snow clothes are essential!
There is a dryer at the condo so while extra clothes are helpful extra snow gear is not necessary
Return time on Sunday in up in the air, as we get closer it will be decided . Kids will have pizza for lunch on the way home.
A sign up for meals will be sent out shortly.  We have a full kitchen with a stove and dishwasher. 
There is an old fashioned candy store down the road, so if you want to send a little spending money feel free. No more than $10.00.
