Shabbat Shalom from Camp Stein! As we head into the final Shabbat of the session, we are so grateful to spend Shabbat together one last time before saying l’hitra’ot (see you soon) to all of our camp friends on Sunday morning. We’ve had a meaningful week, filled with our final camp activities, including chug and hagigah, electives that campers chose, along with celebrating color war, Yom Yisrael, led by our Israeli staff. Our teams were Cheil Ha’avir (air force) vs Cheil Hayam (navy) and all campers and staff joined together in an exciting day of competitions — sports, arts, dance, drama and more. Check out our Facebook page and CampInTouch photos to see more. We’ll continue to post more photos of our end-of-summer activities as each unit spends time together, joining together tomorrow night in candle pass (sharing their highlights of the summer), Havdalah, specialist awards and our camp slideshow.

This week, our oldest campers, Leadership Training Program (LTP) took over camp, leading our younger campers in a night of fun Minions-themed programming. The LTP campers are busy at work for tomorrow’s Cafe Stein. If you can keep a secret: the theme this year is Candyland, but don’t tell your kids! They’ll be surprised tomorrow morning at brunch when we “break” the program and let them know, so they can prepare and get ready to join together in our fun, festive end-of-summer banquet.

We’re glad to have spent these final two week of camp back together — no overnights and no COVID! We’re looking forward to a special Shabbat all together, including an end-of-summer early 4th of July Carnival tomorrow and the chance to hear our LTP speeches of camp advice from our campers who in their last summer as campers.

We’re looking forward to a great final two days of camp and can’t wait to see everyone back next summer!

Shabbat Shalom!

The Camp Stein Team
