The weather is warming up now that summer is here. POE needs your explorer(s) to be prepared with the proper gear in order to provide a safe and fun experience for them each and every day. Remember…
We still ask that you equip your explorer(s) with weather-appropriate layers, and that all explorers have their own sunscreen. Optional sun-proof gear, such as hats and sunglasses, are also welcome! Speaking of sunglasses…
