Our first ever Stanmore & Canons Park Synagogue ‘Summer at Stanmore’ kicked of last week for two full days of fun, adventure and activity! With over 50 children attending each day – the camp was an amazing success.
On Thursday we hit the ground running with 2 hours at Ninja Warrior – followed by a picnic lunch, coach ride back, ’50/50′ competitive tochnit run by our amazing madrichim, a professional graffiti t-shirt workshop with Ben Farleigh, outdoor games, pizza and chips for supper and more.
Friday began with some rain but the children had a great attitude. Whilst the older group tackled outdoor adventure golf and the younger group experienced a treasure hunt all around the shul, the sun came out to shine. We ate a bagels lunch all together before setting out again – with the older group experiencing the infamous ”supermarket sweep’ challenge run in Sainsburys by GIFT and the younger group splitting up to play mini golf.
It was an amazing chance for children both within the Stanmore community and outside to meet each other and to get a feel for the events and opportunities our shul provides.
Thank you for sending your children on our first ever summer programme. Look out for more coming your way including events via our website and social media, a pre-pesach camp and – of course – Summer at Stanmore 2026!
With thanks to our 4 madrichim: Nicholas, Chloe, Issy and Luca, Chani and Ari Davila, Rabbi Eli Birnbaum and to Rabbi Zeidman.
