Tuesday, July 30/24 Tamuz

DATE: July 31, 2024

This morning, each of the Eidot walked back to camp for tefilah. It was a more laid back day in camp.

Tonight, the Night Tochnit (night activity) is Bunk Night, where each bunk creates a bunk sign that is hung in the Chadar Ochel, and presents a dance or skit to their Eidah. It gives an opportunity for the group to bond around the history and meaning of their bunk’s name.

Today, Shiur was about Shmitah and the special Halachot of Shmitah produce.

In Tochnit, we are learning about the establishment of Bnei Akiva and Religious Zionism and the impact that Rav Kook had on the yeshiva world and Jews in Mandatory Palestine.

Kaytana – Today, Kaytana was enslaved in Mitzrayim and were given the back-breaking job of picking up trash by Paroh (the Rosh Plugah, Joey). Tomorrow they will leave Mitzrayim and have their Pesach Seder.

Machal – Last night, Machal went to ice skating and Walmart. They had so much fun and got to sleep in camp! Today, Machal did the Tracy’s Ridge hike and are camping out again tonight. We are so excited to see them this Shabbat!

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
