does anyone here have any ideas for booking a camp for a sleepover in this area?
trying to help someone who runs a camp and usually rents out a jcc nearby trip destinations and the campers just go to sleep in sleeping bags in the main halls of the jcc and it works great!
alas, COVID is still around for some reason and jcc turned them down.

whats a good option to house a bunch of campers overnight in Hershey area? approx 75 ppl
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Also, Dutch Wonderland allows you to preview the park for 3 hours before closing on the day before your ticket booking
do they still do this? Does the preview let you have full access to the park?

Hi. The Central PA Kosher mart where I used to buy discount tickets seems kaput. Is there a new way or place to get discounted tickets for a party of 6? Thanks.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get discounted tickets to Dutch wonderland and cherry crest farm?

Also, anyone seen this milk: https://chestnutsupermarket.com/product/a1-free-milk-2-lowfat/
Being sold anywhere around Lancaster?
