We heard Camp Sternberg is closing. I know that rumor goes around every year, but a call to the Camp office verified that it is a distinct possibility. Applications are not being been sent out from the camp office and staff there are not sure what will be with the camp (new owner bought the camp last year). We have been a Sternberg family for 8 years (2 girls, one still of camp age) and I was a counselor there. We would hate to see this wonderful camp close.
Is there any thing that can be done to prevent this? Anyone have a good idea? If you are a Sternberg family, call the camp office. Perhaps if we bombard the office with calls the new owner will re-consider and open it up.
Whoa. Don’t get worried. It’s highly unlikely that camp is closing. They would have told the staff and they haven’t. The new owners put a lot of money into the camp to enhance it, not to close it down. Each division was privileged to have new additions added – water park – paddle boats – kayaks – game room – water slide – rock climbing wall – aviary – etc. No one pours money into a camp like that if the intention was to close it down. Summer 2010 was fantastic and 2011 will be even better. It’s entirely possible that the office will have a new location and the applications will be sent from there. I would sit tight and keep your eyes open. I’m sure now that the yomim tovim are over there will be ads in the paper, and probably you will get your applications in the mail shortly.
It is a wonderful camp. We have not heard anything about it closing. We saw an ad in one of the Jewish newspapers recently saying nothing you have liked about it over the years will change, and only improvements will be made, such as the new water activities they added this past summer.
I didn’t go there but I know many girls who did and none of them said its closing. They all said they’re going back. I think everyone would’ve known about it if it was really closing.
BE”H camp applications will be going out in November
I know one of the higher ups and they said that they will be opening this year.
CAMPS HELLER MOGEN AV AND STENBERG WERE SOLD ON AUGUST 30 2010 THAT HOW RUMOR STARTED THAT IT WAS CLOSING DOWN BUT THOSE RUMORS ARE FALSE AND IN FACT THEY ALREADY STARTED ADVERTISING FOR THIS UPCOMING SUMMER THE NEW OWNER ALREADY PUT IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THE CAMPS
EVERTHING U LIKE ABOUT THE CAMP WILL BE THE SAME IF NOT BETTER THAT INCLUDES THE HEAD STAFF THE NEW OWNERS BOUGHT THE CAMP AND THE NAMES THE APPLICATION HAVE NOT GONE OUT YET BECAUSE THERE IS STUFF THAT TO BE FINALIZED FOR THEY SEND IT OUT
DO NOT WORRY
ANYMORE Q PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RIGHT BACK HATZLOCHA RABBA
OUT OF TOWN IMA “Nevertheless, the camp office is telling people that they are not the camp office anymore and they are unsure what will be happening with the camp”
THEY ARE NOT THAT CAMP OFFICE ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY SOLD THE CAMP!! THEY REASON WHY THEY EVEN THERE IS BECAUSE YOU CANT JUST SELL A CAMP AND THAT IT THE TRANSFORMATION TAKES TIME
AFTER THE SALE THEY HAD TO SEND OUT PAYCHECKS ETC… THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE
YOU MUST HOLD ON TIGHT AS I MENTION IN EARLIER POST THAT STARTED ADVERTISING ( YOU PROB DID NOT SEE THAT BECAUSE YOU OUT OF TOWN)
I CAN SAY THAT I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEY ARE RE-OPENING
I too have heard from well-placed sources that although Sternberg/Mogeb Av/Heller are under new ownership, they will remain under their respective head counselors and head staff. In other words, there is a new owner, but the same people will be running the same camps.
Any more info on the camp? The rumors are continuing to swirl, including that it was bought by a non-Jew.
I just received an email from them with their new website and registration information for next summer. So, I’d say that Sternberg (and Mogen Av, Heller, etc.) are all going to be open next year.
If it’s okay with the mods, I’ll post a link to the new website.
The Wolf
Go ahead
PY: The camps were bought by a non-religious jew, but the owner’s right hand man, and the new manager of these camps, is a chassidisha yid.
Who said it was bought by a non-religous Jew? Where did you get that information from?
Sternberg, Mogen Av and Heller will be open and in full swing. My son is doing the ad campaign for them. Don’t worry 2011 will be bigger and better than ever.!
aries2756 “Who said it was bought by a non-religous Jew? Where did you get that information from”
i will say it like this camps mogen av sternberg and heller were bought this past august by a non religious Jew, (name withheld)
he basically only employs frum yiden to run his camps ( he owns a bunch other)
this man has barely any direct contact with the camps he owns
that is what he has the frum yiden for
in our case the very nice man in charge of these three camps is an chassidisha yid who lives in woodmere.
and if you go to the website you will find out more info about this upcoming year http://shmacamps.org/
but basically camp is going to be the same as always and even better with the new owner improving the grounds in all three camps
so do not delay sign up now for an early bird special
aries2756 the reason why your son does not even know that the camp is owned by a non frum yid is because all of his employees are frum so he never came in contact with the real owner
Is this camp opening this year?
Not possible. Because were sending there this year.
NU Uh!!!! ik the guy in charge, dov perkal n from wat i c plans for this summer r underway! CAMP STERNBERG ISNT CLOSING!
Does Sternberg use this “Camp Is Not Opening” thhing as an advertising scheme to attract more attention? Everry single year, this topic comes up!
