Embrace Opportunities for Family Friendly Fun

To quote the late-great Louis Armstrong,”What a Wonderful World!” While attempting to share these lyrics with my own rendition sung in the confines of home lacks the same stirring emotion and harmony, this delightful tune symbolizes all the greatness surrounding us. Earth Day, April 22, is an opportunity to ignite festive fun with organizations across the region encouraging this same respect for nature and the wonder is possesses. Mapping sites of celebration with detail elaboration, we’ve unfolded events sure to be enjoyed! By the same token, enjoying life by living each day to its fullest is a maxim easily accommodated in the Pocono Mountains. From making memories with Kalahari Waterpark Day Passes to taking in fee-free days at Steamtown, turn the page to find your next adventure!

“A

ccidentally discovered” by two farmers in 1871, Crystal Cave’s Kathy Campbell shares a riveting look into the depths of this Kutztown natural wonder. Describing cavern tours for the past 145 years, she tells how tourists first arrived on horseback and stagecoach staying overnight in the onsite hotel with Coal oil lanterns, torches, and tallow candles providing illumination for people climbing over rocks and transcending wooden ladders. J. Douglas Kaufman and Edwin DeLong purchased the property in 1923 from the Kohler family with the anticipation of making extensive underground and aboveground improvements. Concrete walks and stairways were installed inside

the cave with a new prominent entrance built. The hotel was closed to overnight guests and became a gift shop also serving meals. During the 1950’s and 1960’s a refreshment stand and large souvenir store were added to the delight of tourists evolving further in the 1970’s. An ice cream parlor, additional food building, miniature golf course, and theater featuring an educational movie presentation were constructed. Today, panning for gemstones a historical exhibit and museum operate on a seasonal basis. While exterior surroundings and accommodations may have evolved over time, Crystal Cave remains

impervious with spectacular stalagmites, massive rocks growing out of the cave’s floor; and stalactites, large dripstones hanging from the ceiling, astounding generations of guests. The Kaufman and DeLong families continue to operate Crystal Cave. Douglas S. Kaufman, son of J. Douglas Kaufman, was president from 1972 – 2007 with his daughter our narrator, Kathryn Campbell, assuming the position for the past nine years. Edwin DeLong’s grandson, James DeLong, is the company manager. Ownership and operation, translating to multigenerational enjoyment for all, is anticipated for years to come.
