Monday July 14 – LAST DAY :(

DATE: July 15, 2025

Everyone woke up with that mix of sad to leave machane and all their camp friends AND excited to see family and freinds back at home! Last day means reviewing in shiur time all the different parts of Jewish history that we learned about this month… getting in some last peulot before lunch (some bunks requested favorite ones to have one last time), finishing up any project in the Village that needed finishing and picking up the last round of mail and packages!

The afternoon was for packing and helping friends pack, followed by shlepping and helping friends shlep! Dinner was hamburgers. Yum!

We are so sad this month is over, and we look forward to everyone moving up to the next Eidah (Yakov and Estee let each eidah cheer for their next year’s eidah, during our last mifkad before we board the buses). Let the countdown begin… Another 11 months until Session 1 2026 kicks off!! See you there??

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
