You can get supercheap rods off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Traveling-Sections-Telescopic-Fisherman/dp/B005SO6GTW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511730672&sr=8-4&keywords=tenkara
Will probably last long enough for you to decide whether or not you like it.
Bought two of these and one of these, and I'm splitting it with my hiking partner. Two full rigs for under $60. I'm sure they're crap, but it'll at least give me an idea if I want to go any further.
I've done some trout fishing but am certainly not a trout expert and don't know anything about PA fishing (I've only trout fished in WI/IA or the rockies). My first step would be to find a good local fishing store (always the #1 fishing resource) and ask what's working or google fishing reports for where you'll be (either like DNR reports or online forums).
On my spinning reel I usually use a 4 lb fluorocarbon leader that's 2-4 feet long, and am either using powerbait trout bait (either yellow/tan or orange) on a small hook or using little spinners (like mepps or panther martin, with black and gold or silver/white patterns being my staples).
I suck at flyfishing but sometimes flies are hard to beat. There are a couple ways to use flies without a full flyfishing setup:
Waders are personal preference - you can also usually fish from the bank, or depending on water temp just stand in the water with swim trunks and keens. And you can keep fish on a stringer, in a creel bag, or even just toss it on the bank if you're going to clean it soon.
Worth mentioning if you want to try Tenkara you can buy near disposable rods off of Amazon for cheap $8 Tenkara rod
Also dragon tail Tenkara has excellent starter line and fly kits for $18.
Highly recommend starting there and upscaling your gear as you progress.
$5 ?
oh think i found it

This is the one I have.
When I bought it it was only $9. Now they are listed for way too much. It broke the first time I took it out on a little Brook trout. I repaired it and have used it several times since then. I also added a holder for the line and made a little cloth case for it. All in I have maybe $12 invested in the whole set up. Its fun but I'm sure I would be laughed out of the room by any serious tenkara guy.
I use old fly 4wt fly line as the level line and made a short furled leader. I can take pictures of the modifications I've made and upload them if you are interested.
Tenkara is a great way to introduce kids to fly fishing. Very simple, and once they get the cast down, they can focus on learning the basics of nymphing as well as dead drifting and reading streams. These will all transfer well if they decide to move to traditional fly fishing.
TenkaraBum has an excellent kit that includes everything you'll need to get started. The rod is really nice, and is my go to for small streams/blue lines. It is a bit pricey though.
If you're looking to go cheap first, just to test the waters, amazon has some cheap rods that should certainly work fine. You'll just have to buy some level line and tippet to complete the kit.
Both of these rods will be just fine for trout and panfish, but probably are not suitable for SMB.
I use this and love it especially for the price.

It comes from Asia, and not on prime shipping, so it can take a while...
And I paired it with this line, works great! Can overhead or roll cast with ease:
