Wednesday July 2

DATE: July 3, 2025

The pictures say it all – it has been the most gorgeous perfect weather at our Chutz this year, and so fun and relaxing to hang out cooking around the fire for hours. The campers really enjoy getting to know nature, while playing and talking with others of all ages. There is a Melechet Yad tent open for activities all day and tefilot to break up the day and help us keep our schedule – otherwise we really wouldn’t know what time it is 🙂

After tefillah, everyone was served a simple cereal-and-milk brekafast before shiur. The Shiur today was by eidah – members of the Beit Midrash came around to each eidah and performed a skit demonstrating the nature/ways of different Chassidic sects.  Following shiur, the fires were were lit and away the kids went…for hours… Each group (a plugah, led by eidah daled campers and supervised by madrichim) was given ingredients (bread, eggs, cheese etc) and they spent hours making whatever they could think of to eat: scrambled eggs, french toast, grilled cheese… It was yummy and fun!

Another movie will be projected up on the big screen tonight, and then tomorrow morning the whole camp returns after shiur. Eidah Daled stays behind to help plugah do the clean-up. With great privilege comes great responsibility 🙂

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
