Join us for the 2019 Annual Camping Trip!

We'll have fun, make new friends, and celebrate Shabbat and Havdalah in the woods at New Hampshire's White Lake State Park. This event continues to be a ton of fun and this year will continue the tradition.

Planned events include:

• Fun Friday evening Shabbat service by the Campfire

• Delicious Dinner with your neighbors on Saturday

• Happy Hikes for all ages - Experienced hikers will appreciate going to one of the nearby trails, led by an experienced temple member. A casual walkaround the lake will also be planned, ideal for those who want a less rigorous activity who want to collect wild blueberries.

• Sunny Swimming in White Lake

• Havdalah service by the Campfire on Saturday

• Fantastic French Toast Sunday morning
