Stanmore & Canons Park Synagogue ‘Summer at Stanmore’ kicked off 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 they hit the ground running with 2 hours at Ninja Warrior – followed by a picnic lunch, coach ride back, ’50/50′ competitive tochnit run by their 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. They ate a lunch of filled bagels together at shul before setting out again, with the older group experiencing the infamous ‘supermarket sweep’ challenge run at Sainsburys by GIFT and the younger group splitting off to play mini golf.
It was an amazing chance for children both within the Stanmore community and from nearby communities to meet each other and to experience a taster of the events and opportunities our shul provides.
Look out for more events and updates coming your way via our website and social media accounts including a pre-Pesach camp (dates to be released soon) and, of course – Summer at Stanmore 2026.
With special thanks to the madrichim: Nicholas, Chloe, Issy and Luca, youth directors Chani and Ari Black, Rabbi Eli Birnbaum and to Rabbi Zeidman for their hard work.
