Monday August 5/Rosh Chodesh Av

DATE: August 6, 2024

Chodesh Tov!

Following a beautiful Rosh Chodesh Tfila, this morning at Aruchat Eser, the Chutz was broken out! For the next three days and two nights, the entire camp will go to a nearby field (about a 20 minute walk) and will set up camp. Eidah Daled campers will be leading their “Plugot” of about 25-30 campers, where they will be gathering wood, building fires, making food, and hanging out. This is a tremendous leadership opportunity for each Eidah Daled camper who is put in charge of kids younger than them.

Each Pluga is given a project to make the Chutz feel like camp. One group is in charge of the Beit Knesset, another in charge of a “Welcome to the Chutz” sign, and others make thrones for the Roshei Moshava or a tetherball court. We take our shtick very seriously at Machane Stone.

Tomorrow, we’ll explain the food competition at the Chutz and the Never Ending Breakfast.

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
