Thursday 7/11

DATE: July 12, 2024

This years Color War winning team was, (drumroll please)… Rambam!!  The captains modeled beautiful sportsmanship throughout Color War, all the way through the end, congratulating each other and acknowledging how hard the other captains and team had worked.

This morning the whole camp had late kimah, as we all needed some extra sleep after last nights presentations and festivities. Our day was a typical day at camp with the usual activities, Sports, Village, Agam, Melechet Yad etc., except, every eidah got a turn to have a peulah of inflatables! Four giant inflatables were set up in Indoor World. There were even huge inflated targets with soft axes that you could throw that stuck via Velcro if they found their mark!

There was one Eidah that did not join us in this activity, Eidah Daled. Why?! Because every year Eidah Daled goes on a massive white water rafting trip, typically after Color War, to help the eidah regroup, recoup and bond once again. For campers who have been here previously,  this trip is often looked at as one of the highlights of being in Eidah Daled.

But wait, there’s more! Eidah Daled isn’t the only eidah that got wet today, everyone went to Splash Lagoon, an indoor waterpark that camp  rented out! There is an arcade room for those chanichim who opt out of getting wet and of course, snacks galore. What an awesome way to end such a fun and intense week!

Shabbat Shalom U’Mevorach!

Trivia Question: How many water igloos are around the entire camp??

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
