We'll have fun, make new friends, and celebrate Shabbat and Havdalah in the woods at New Hampshire's White Lake State Park. This is a great annual activity and this year will continue the tradition.

Scheduled activities 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 walk around the lake will also be planned, ideal for those who want a less rigorous activity or who want to collect wild blueberries.

• Sunny Swimming in White Lake

• Havdalah service by the Campfire on Saturday

• Challah French Toast Breakfast Sunday morning

I've never camped before. Are there showers? Is it safe?

Welcome to the wonderful world of camping. There are showers, toilets, and hot water. The campground is very safe and you'll be with others from our community and make many friends.
