Is there any kosher food around the area?
Bushkill inn and CGI Poconos have dinner options.

do you need to book in advance or can you just show up for dinner?

I called Bushkill Inn and they stop serving kosher on Aug, 31st until their Succos program starts. We want to go Sept. 1st, do you think CGI will still be open?

Sorry for not reporting back, but I did go at around 7:30 PM and they said they were not accepting any more guests for that night and I should have made prior reservations which is not something we were told at all when I called. It was very frustrating but I couldn't exactly force them to give us food and we made do with some leftovers we had from previous suppers.

So yes, prior booking is required and I wish they would have told us that. Will know for next year if we do this again.

See below, only 3 days left to book group rates for Yeshiva Mid-Winter vacations at Camelback Resort.

The prices below are NOT MARKED UP for profit. Just a group that's gotten bigger over the years.

Questions on details of the terms of our rates should be directed to Camelback reservations @855-515-1283.

GROUP ID# 8043

Group Name: Yeshiva Mid-Winter

The Deal: The terms are geared towards larger yeshiva families. The biggest benefit of booking with our group is that it will include occupancy for 6 guests (you can have up to 8 in a king room for an additional charge), waterpark passes for all guests and 4 passes to a snow activity, either a ski lift ticket or snow-tubing. Regular group rates come with an occupancy of 4 people per room, and it costs an additional $35-40 for guests 5 through 8. Additionally, these room rates are less than what's publicly available.

If they tell you the room only includes 4 people, tell them to have a supervisor read the terms of our group.

The conference room has been reserved for minyanim and Dougies Teaneck will deliver.

yes I know

 but what area is going to have a minyan on shabbos?  When I searched for Scranton no houses(with at least 4 bedrooms and 13 people ) came up.  Most of the houses are in more rural areas like hamlin, lake ariel lake pond, tobyhanna, albrightsville east strousburg etc....

Need some more guidance here from someone with experience.

Yes, it's old. But still news. ;)
