Wed July 4

DATE: July 4, 2018

The good news is: the chutz was so fun!!

The bad news is: we got rained out today at 1:45 pm camp time 🙁

We all had to come back to camp, because the hot and humid weather turned into rain.

It was a great chutz, although it got cut short. Enjoy the pictures: )

After lunch was served in camp, we went back to our “regular scheduled program” of three afternoon peulot followed by sichot that were led by the Eidah Daled chanichim (the sicha they were planning to lead at the Chutz). oh, and of course, shower time!!!

Tonight, there was “shira” after dinner (classic Bnei Akiva sing-a-long of Israeli oldies and favorites) and then each eidah had a night activity by itself.

Machal’s planned hike also got rained out, so they visited Gettysburg (a shout out to July 4th) and Friendly’s. Tonight they are camping out in a campground in Hershey, PA and tomorrow they have a fun day at Hershey Park amusement park!!

About the Chanukah Raffle

Dear Camp Stone Community,

It is an incredible feeling to reconnect with everyone once again at the beginning of our 2021 camp season.

We are writing to you today, first and foremost, to express tremendous gratitude.

Hakarat HaTov, literally “recognizing the good”, is an important and fundamental principle in our community. We, at Camp Stone, want to express our Hakarat HaTov to everyone receiving this email for your unwavering support, especially this past summer. Whether you provided financial assistance through your donated tuition dollars, participated in Indoor World, or connected with the Camp Stone community in other ways, together we had an incredibly successful, albeit different, summer experience.

There is no substitute for being in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania, and this summer, B’ezrat Hashem, we will be back at Camp Stone, in person, in full force.

To achieve that goal, we must continue to ensure the financial success of our home away from home that we all know and love so deeply. The logo on top, featuring the slogan “Stone. Forever.” also features a Ner Tamid, an “eternal flame.” The year 1969, etched into the logo, is the year camp was founded. Symbolically, the overall image represents the idea that Camp Stone began many years ago and must endure forever, always burning brightly, and always an integral part of our collective conscience.

On that note, we are excited to announce that our annual Chanukah Campaign will be a raffle taking place over all 8 nights of Chanukah with prizes for both campers and parents/alumni!!

Please go back to the web page  to purchase raffle tickets and help us achieve 100% participation from our entire camp community!

Looking forward to being in touch with all of you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yakov & Estee, Co-Directors
