EscapeRoomCra C

aptures the poconos T

he latest in thrills and (in certain situations) chills has hit the Pocono Mountains with Country Junction and The Waldorf Hotel harnessing the Escape Room craze creating three unique opportunities to test your senses and deduce which way to produce an escape route.

The Classroom at Country Junction Events Center puts participants ages 10 and up in a not-so-scary situation where school’s out, but YOU’RE not, as the teacher has left the room and locked the door behind. Where’s the key? Consider hints to help uncover its place or be stuck in education isolation!

Find a fun way to family bond.

The Waldorf Hotel serves as the ideal location for this escape destination as guests find themselves trapped inside an old, seemingly abandoned house where you’ll need to find your way out as you are NOT alone. It’s Dinner Time, leaving little time to Break Out from your cannibalistic hosts who’ve got a hankering for a healthy serving of fear! This one ranks “medium” on the Degree of Difficulty scale with a bit higher level in the EscapeIt scare zone.

Step out with some live action for hardcore gamers.

Rally and retreat with a test on who has top notch teamwork skills.

No matter what outing there’s no doubting; the key is to stay calm, cool and collect clues to use after choosing which experience suits you best. From planning the ideal kid friendly “get away” with The Classroom, to a bit (or bite) more fright for teens and adults in Dinner Time Break Out or an oceanic shriek aboard Titanic. Deciding the experience is the toughest part...or is it?

YOU decide!

As the ship’s captain retreats to research a startling sound, suddenly worry turns to Titanic panic upon discovering he’s locked the door behind! That sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach sets in as you begin trying to find your way out of the Waldorf Hotel before it’s too late!

Open now through August with online booking required, the only question left is—Where will YOU be booking your room This Week in the Poconos?

ficionado or novice, nothing compares to the experience of fishing with a pro. Sharing the how, what, why’s that continue to make this an increasingly popular sportsman’s choice, Sports Fishing Guide Kenny Garippa delivers details alongside long time client and friend Dennis Fredericks.

His office—a 21 foot Nitro bass boat with screaming 225 Hp Mercury engine Suit and tie? No way—this tournament angler takes his job seriously brandishing sponsor logos across his long sleeve T and baseball cap.

Tools of the trade—the latest in tackle with rods, reels and life vests neatly secured along the bow and stern TWIP So what does it take to be a fishing guide

TWIP How do I know what to do and use

Garippa There’s no stress on the water

Garippa To be good you’ve got to do it every day

Garippa That’s where the guiding comes in. A guide knows all the components: what lake to go to, what to throw, what tactics to use to make the experience more pleasurable

TWIP What lakes do you fish

TWIP Is fishing difficult to learn Fredericks Kenny can make anybody a fisherman Garippa I love to teach and pass on the passion of fishing

TWIP Why are more and more people opting for the guided experience

Garippa Beltzville, Wallenpaupack, Lake Henry and Lake Fairview Garippa Kids as young as five years old have taken the four hour “test tank” trip on Stillwater Lake

With a variety of options to suit all skill levels from Intro, 1/2 Day and Full Day, to a Tournament Package and “Nite Bite’s” mid-summer fishing, reeling in the Fishing Guide experience is just a phone call away.

Let’s turn our attention to one of nature’s own fast flying phenomenon.

A Pocono Mountains inhabitant that is simply astounding!

T

his Week’s Fun Fact comes from the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s William Williams.

Did you know...

The Peregrine Falcon, a Pennsylvania endangered bird species, feeds exclusively on other birds by striking them in flight.

In a vertical dive called a “stoop,” an adult peregrine can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour traveling faster than any other animal on the planet!

ou’re invited to stay & play, or take in some takeout, at this year’s Holy Cross Greek Fest!

Set with four days of fabulous feasting festivities June 9 through 12, the Stroudsburg tradition over 25 years in the making offers an atmosphere Holy Cross Parish Council Vice President and festival Chairman Isidoros Skarlis calls, “Fun and lively.”

Scooping up over 7000 people, the popular event erupts into a sea of music, dancing, food and fun Thursday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday noon to 7 p.m.

You’re Invited

“When the Greek dancing starts then the crowd always seems to go wild, describes Skarlis adding, “People are just having fun and enjoying the food.”

Calling the homemade recipes his favorite part of Greek Fest, he invites others to enjoy a wide variety of delectable dishes passed down for many years.

Festival admission & parking is FREE!
