Thursday July 9

DATE: July 10, 2026

We had a beautiful fifth-to-last-day here.

Eidah Daled left super early for the traditional Eidah daled Post-color war White water rafting trip 🙂

Meanwhile for everyone else today was an awesome day of peulot as campers got back into the routine of a “regular” day of camp after two days of color war. We continued to learn about pre-State Israel and in particular the culture in Israel and the role of American Jewry.

The last Thursday of camp generally features a crowd favorite bouncy castle peula, during which Indoor World is filled with different blow up carnival amusements and each eidah has an opportunity to go enjoy!

Later in the day, we had yet another exciting breakout… Splash Lagoon (an indoor water park)!!!! Dinner was early and then the buses pulled out. Boys play arcade games while girls slide, swim and splash and then the genders switch. Late night return means a little bit of a later kima and shorter hikes for each eidah.

Machal– We were so excited to greet Machal as they returned from their week long canoeing trip. Machal in great spirits (although a little dirty) and were treated to a celebratory barbeque for their major accomplishment of canoeing 60 miles over the week!

We are so excited for our fourth (fifth, for tzevet) Shabbat together and know the Kabbalat Shabbat, singing and dancing will be the best yet!

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
