This summer North Charleston High School hosted its first Hospitality and Tourism CTE Summer Camp.
Students attended daily field trips where they learned about event operations, community programs, hotel operations, tourism, and careers. We visited the Park Circle Community Building and Playground, The North Charleston Marriott, The Cooper, and Sewee Visitors and Environmental Education Center. Thank you all for your support of this program and a special thank you to Ms. Southall for co-chaperoning the field trips. We had a wonderful time each day!
