Near the end you will find a checklist of things to bring.
Add to the list boots. As a member of the Pocono Eagle, one essential item that you should bring to camp is youboots. What kind of boots? Anything shoe attire that is over your ankle and can reasonably be called a boot is acceptable. Boots are required to attend the Pocono Eagle Boots, Bourbon and Cigar party on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 10:00pm.
What about masks? I am joining a number of others who believe it important to bring masks and if at all possible self-tests kits so you can easily know your status given the virulence nature of the COVID Delta variant. I purchased kits this past weekend and had my first test on Saturday. I will do a self-test every three days between now and arriving at camp. I am bringing some test kits to camp to continue testing while there. The test was super easy to self-administer with results in 15 minutes. Two tests per box for $23.99 (available at pharmacies everywhere). https://www.cvs.com.
Bring warm cloths! The temperature can go to the mid 50s at night in the Poconos. A onesie is the perfect choice.
