Tues June 10 – Color War Day 2

DATE: July 11, 2018

It feels like we are in a week-long color way. Everyone is busy and the day is packed with activities, meetings and meals & marches 🙂

Today’s schedule was more sporting events, a really fun apache race that takes over an hour to complete and involves so many chanichim at all the stops and challenges all over camp. A baton is passed between participants after they complete their task. It is a highlight of Color War!  We also had a chidon for chanichim who could answer questions on Torah, holidays, tefillah and halacha.

Tonight, after dinner, we all enjoyed watching each team’s presentations – including Team Tzevet’s entertaining presentations.

Each team had to showcase a song, a boys’ rikud, a skit, a girls’ stomp and 4 art projects: a shelet (sign/banner on wood), a painted garbage can for camp, a painted side of a mechitza for the indoor Beit Knesset and 3 bencher holders for the Chadar Ochel.

It was amazing to see all the talent, creativity and participation that chanichim brought to this night of presentations. So many points were at stake here!!

And the winner was…haTzohar (“the blue team”)!!!

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
