Erev Tov Sugar Tov!!! Welcome back to Camp Stone!!

For these next two very special and unique weeks (and, of course, hopefully never repeated again!) we will all join together for our favorite experiential learning and fun with our beloved and dedicated hadracha and tzevet!

500 campers have registered for Indoor World, the online 2-week online summer program by Roshei Moshava Shalhevet Schwartz, Elisha Kelman and Aryeh Klein. They have been working hard with 45 staff in camp and approx 100 around the world, preparing shiruim and chavrutot, chugim and peulot, videos and games – all to connect your children to Camp Stone this summer.

ki b’nafsheinu hu, Machane Stone – camp is in our hearts and souls…this summer more than ever!

Each eidah begins today, first with the whole camp for Opening Tochnit, and then alone as an eidah, with their friends and hadracha .

Each day your child can join in as much or as little as she/he wants – there will be learning, activities and games by bunk.  The daily schedule is on the website under the special “Indoor World” tab. And join us each morning with the Boker Tov Sugar Grove radio show and daily challenges.  Each camper has a package in the mail on the way! They will love it!!!

In addition, all staff will be enriched and developed by the daily discussions about leadership and group dynamics AND by the live daily tzevet shiurim and pre-recorded short divrei torah videos by their favorite leaders around America and Israel. Our staff will gain as much, if not more, from these two weeks!

Get ready for an unprecedented experience, filled with just as much idealism, creativity and passion as you have found in every other summer! Indoor World….here we come!!

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
