Thursday, August 8/4 Av

DATE: August 9, 2024

Today was another busy day in Camp Stone. We had our second night where we slept on the Chutz – all enjoyed, it was lots of fun! Our Eidah Daled Roshei Pluga were amazing!

After waking up, we davened, ate breakfast, and had shiur, and at about that time, it began to rain – just in time for us to walk back to camp.

After walking back to camp, each bunk was given time to unpack, get settled and shower off the smell of the Chutz.

Then, we started regular peulot (activities), had Mincha & lunch, more peulot, and at Shekem, while everyone thought the rest of the day would be normal, the Roshei Moshava broke out Ice Skating!!!!

Eidot Aleph, Vav, & Bet left first, followed by Gimmel and Daled going later.

The FIDF program got off to a great start! They joined the Chutz for part of the day and will be joining some of the older kids on their hikes tomorrow.

Machal left Virginia and will be heading back to camp tomorrow!

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
