DATE: August 12, 2024

Shavua Tov from the Holy Machane Stone!

We just came out of an amazing third Shabbat! We had a crazy week with the Chutz, Ice Skating, saying goodbye to Kaytana, and welcoming our FIDF program.

Everyone was really excited to welcome back Machal from their Virginia trip.

On Friday, the FIDF Program went Berry Picking

Eidah Aleph went to the Dollar Store

Eidah Vav also went Berry Picking

Eidah Bet went to Town

Eidah Gimmel hiked to Perrys for ice cream

Eidah Daled did the Purple Mailbox loop hike close to camp

Machal went swimming and did the ropes course in camp

Today, Machal went to Buffalo and visited the Underground Railroad Museum and will be visiting Niagra Falls tonight.

While tomorrow is Erev Tisha B’Av, today had it’s fair share of buildup to something unusual (could be Color War later this week, who knows). The schedule was flipped. Campers ate dinner for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, took showers in the morning and had Nikayon at night, the Roshei Pluga and Roshei Beit Midrash switched places, and the Roshei Eidah Daled & Aleph switched as well.

Tomorrow will be a mainly normal day with Tisha B’Av prep in the afternoon.

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
