Sunday Aug 16

DATE: August 17, 2026

Today was our last regular day of camp and it was packed with so much fun and memories. In Shiur today campers learned about Yoshiyahu and his finding a Sefer Torah. This was a great opportunity to talk about Teshuva and reconnecting with Hashem as we head into Elul. 

Our day continued with lots of fun peulot and later in the day we had our last Chugim. Our schedule was interrupted by a few raindrops, but we made the most of it by turning the rain into an opportunity for an epic camp wide waterfight. 

Tonight’s night tochnit was the much-anticipated Machal vs. Daled basketball game – first a girls’ game followed by a boys’ game. While the basketball games are fun to watch, we keep the younger chanichim entertained with a simultaneous carnival run by tzevet – booths with games and prizes, popcorn and ice cream etc. All good fun in Indoor World for our last regular night together in machane. 

Of course, tomorrow will be a bittersweet day filled with our final peulot with our friends and then packing up and getting ready to head home until next summer!

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
