There’s nothing like the great outdoors! Middle school had a successful camping trip to South Mountain State Park last week. Fishing, hiking, exploring, and reconnecting- it was fabulous. A quote overheard late night around the campfire: “This is low key the best overnight trip yet.” 💥 what else is there to say?!#jewishcharlotte #charlottejewishdayschool #tk8 #jewishmomsofcharlotte #jewisheducation #charlottejewishpreschool #cjds2025
