Took the fam here on MLK day weekend and we had a really enjoyable time overall. Super family-friendly vibe! The staff at the rental shop and ski school were patient and helpful. My 8-year-old's group lesson was excellent; the instructor had her linking turns by the end of the day. They were also very nice and gave her a great report card of how she did during her lesson. We also went to one of the snowtubing sessions. It was the first time for my kids and everyone had a great time. Be sure to try linking snowtubes with a bunch of people. It makes you go down twice as fast and much more exciting! It was a bit crowded though so be prepared to wait in line and avoid bumping into others on the ski trail. Would definitely come back for another family outing or to progress the kids' skiing. It's not Vail, but it's reliable, approachable, and feels like a classic local hill done right. Recommended for beginners, families, or anyone wanting a low-key ski day without the big crowds and prices of the larger mountains.

Just to note, I don't personally ski or snowboard. We visited Shawnee as we heard that this was a…read moregood beginners mountain. We took our kids here so that they could experience their first mountain trip. Our oldest daughter went for her first lesson on skiing. We signed some paperwork, got her rentals, and geared up. The lesson was 2 hours long and they taught her how some of the basics. She actually enjoyed it and did pretty well too. The staff seemed really nice and also presented her with a progress report. As for the youngest daughter, we just had her play some with some snow in the play area dedicated for smaller children. For $10, the space was tiny and the snow was more like ice. This was not a great experience, and there weren't much for her to do in there. There weren't much toys and we were bored midway through our 1 hour time slot. Tubing was pretty fun but the wait was pretty long. Overall, I think everyone had a good time considering it was their first time.

We had an awesome time rafting the Delaware Water Gap. We drove up to the Poconos, where we stayed…read morea few years back, coincidentally. This was a pretty last minute, somewhat impromptu day trip. Our friends invited us along, to help celebrate their daughter graduating and going off to college. It would be the first time rafting for my fnsily, but our friends had done previously with other friends and acquaintances. We arrived earlier than our time slot. I would suggest opting for the earliest outing you can, so that you have time to stop along the route. We started later than expected and we're rushing to get to the end, so we weren't able to chill and relax, and take our time heading down. There's also a place to eat and an animal exhibit in the same area. You can hang out and do some stuff before or after your water sport. You're able to bring your own vests, however for children, they MUST be US Coast guard approved. Honestly, adult of child, you should just be safe and ensure you have the right gear. Many of their vests were pretty new but I'd prefer to carry my own. We paid, got our wristbands, and the staff explained what we would be doing. We drove a little bit away, to Smithfield Beach, where they have picnic areas and access to the water. They have bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. All of the bathrooms in the early part of the day are great but by dusk, they get dank and gross. They really should gave someone clean them mid-day. We had to pay for parking in the beach lot, which was about $10. We walked down to another area where a guy explained to us how to navigate the river. He told us what to expect in terms of water height and expressed that we must ale3havr access to our vests in case water patrol stopped us. It seemed daunting at first but once we were out on the water, it was all good. We hopped in a van, which drove us to where we get our rafts. Oncr we got into our rafts, we were good to go. Our raft had to be switched out for antiehr because hubby noticed water bubbling at his feet, which meant there was a hole, so please make sure you inspect your craft before you head out. Paddling was difficult because we were three in a raft and we couldn't get the rhythm. This is definitely a workout. Everyone had to work together or you're all just making more work for each other. I would suggest at least four strong paddlers to a raft. If only two or three, you should definitely focus on working together. For the majority of the trip, the water was only knee or waist deep. There are lots of plant life in the water, making it difficult to paddle through. The entire trip straight should take 3-4 hours. We stopped at some of the "islands" to have lunch, drink, and just rest. We saw people off to the side camping, swimming, and having a good time. I'm convinced some of those people didn't make it back in time. That was not about to be us. We kept it moving, paddling and taking pictures, and enjoying the beauty of the nature surrounding us. It was amazing and the water was sooo clear. We got to see the beginnings of the sun setting and made it back just in time before it got too dark. We were driven back to Smithfield Beach, dried off and changed in the bathrooms, and headed home. The drive was about two hours each way and by the end of the night, we were exhausted. It was a fun trip and I'd love to do it again but I would probably prefer staying nearby at the Wyndham cabins or a campsite.

Upon arrival at our appointed time, we were greeted warmly, and our reservation was promptly found. The staff was eager to help us, and we were able to pick up some bug spray and protective gear for our belongings, which was great since we hadn't come prepared for that. Every person we interacted with inside their shop was very helpful. They ensured we found life preservers that fit us perfectly and provided detailed instructions along with a QR code to access a map. Finding the parking site within the National Park was easy, though we had to pay a $10 fee, which was reasonable. The park was full, so we were glad to be part of the Adventure Sports group, as they were turning everyone else away. The staff promptly met us at our car, loaded us into the van with other customers, and took us to Bushkill, where they unloaded our boats and ensured we were all set to go. They even offered to help us launch the boats. We received a set of safety instructions, and Lucas, who gave the briefing, did an excellent job. He was personable, friendly, and provided helpful tips on what to watch out for and avoid. All the staff involved in shuttling and getting the boats in and out of the water were great. Our time on the Delaware Water Gap was fantastic. We did the 10-mile trip, which took about four hours, including a couple of stops along the way based on their provided information. This was a fantastic experience as part of my daughter's birthday excursion in the Poconos. We are super glad we chose this outfit and highly recommend them for their professionalism, friendliness, high-quality gear, and detailed, helpful instructions. Every staff member was super nice and helpful, making for a memorable experience. Very affordable for what they provide, quality gear and shuttled right to the launch and waiting in the other end to collect everything and help the customers. Highly recommend Adventure Sports!
