CAMP LIFE

July / August 2023

Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania Dear Camp Life Family & Friends,

What an exciting time of year to be enjoying Camp Life at the lake. We have many exciting real estate updates that I would like to briefly share with all of you.

Pocono Pines, PA 18350

• Inspired by a vintage-style nautical theme, our next Camp, “Camp Overboard”, sets sail to Lake Naomi this summer and will be available for sale in August. As you may have heard, the original Camp Summer of ‘69 A-frame had re-sold in Lake Naomi this year, and closed at over $400.00 per square foot, and I would expect the same high demand for Camp Overboard, and suggest calling Dembinski Realty Company now at 570.646.7463 to be put on a waiting list to view this property once it hits the market in August.

• The former Bendixen’s Giftshop on Route 940 adjacent to Tanglewood Drive in Lake Naomi, has undergone several months of extensive renovations, and will serve as the official entrance into Historic Pocono Pines. The property has been named “The Camp Life Building.” I would like to thank all the sub-contractors, and the zoning & building departments at Tobyhanna Township for their cooperation, as we strive to continally improve and maintain the commerical and residential property investments we all have in our community.

• Before listing your home for sale, I would strongly suggest having your home inspected. Excited home buyers who want to live at the lake sign purchase agreements on homes only to cancel after receiving unfavorable property inspection reports that could have been easily addressed and corrected prior to listing your home for sale.

• For those sellers who aren’t using their homes, and would prefer not to make the necessary major repairs needed, I would encourage you to contact me before selling your home. By listing your home in the MLS at a discounted price without repairs being made, you are unintentionlly lowering everyone else’s property values in the community. To avoid this, I would be happy to purchase your home directly – instead of listing it, make the necessary improvements to the home, and then list it for sale for another family to enjoy, so we can all maintain favorable property values at the lake.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the lake this summer.

Sincerely,

Michael Dembinski

NATIVE SPOTLIGHT

Amelanchier canadensis

Duration: Perennial

Size: 15-25 feet tall

Autumn Foliage: yes

Fruit: Red to purple

Bloom Color: White

Bloom Time: Mar , Apr , May

Water Use: Medium Light: Sun, Part

Serviceberry is a deciduous, early-flowering, large shrub or small tree in the rose family. In spring the showy, fragrant flowers bloom in clusters before leaf-out. The purple berry-like drupes follow and are attractive to wildlife and edible by humans. In fall the leaves turn showy red and orange.

This tree prefers part shade and moist well-drained sandy loam but is adaptable to both wet and dry sites and various soil types. It is somewhat clay tolerant. It will grow in full sun but appreciates afternoon shade especially in the south and will require moister soil. It is somewhat tolerant of salt but not of urban conditions.

It has three seasons of interest, making it a good small tree to use as a specimen or in small groups. It is a fine addition to naturalized or woodland sites or pollinator gardens. It can also be used along lakes, streams, ponds or other wet sites.

Please keep “serviceberry” in mind when planning your garden design!
