Lake Metigoshe Outdoor Learning Center: The center offers ecology, conservation, cultural and recreational programming in an outdoor setting. The state park provides a natural classroom to study the outdoor environment. They offer a wide range of ecosystems, including forest, wetlands, prairies, rivers and lakes. Programs offer interactive learning. One of the activities we will participate in is the sensory hike. We will get a sense of how animals rely on adaptations for survival. In this adventure, we’ll see, hear, smell, touch and perhaps taste nature while discovering ecological principles along the way. North Dakota Vision Services/School for the Blind presents Teen Camp at International Peace Garden: International Peace Garden was dedicated July 14, 1932. A cairn, built of stones gathered from North Dakota and Manitoba was the only boundary maker. On either side of the cairn two flag poles flutter with the Stars and Stripes and the Maple Leaf. Today students will be able to see this cairn and flags as well as the floral clock, floral garden, interpretive center, 9/11 memorial and much more. Annie’s House Annie’s House at Bottineau Winter Park is a year-round facility to accommodate adaptive sports. It was built in honor of Ann Nelson, a resident of Stanley, North Dakota who was the only North Dakota resident to perish in the World Trade Center attacks in New York City on 9/11. Annie’s father, Gary Nelson, hosted NDVS/SB students for a weekend event in 2013 and is excited again to provide opportunity for our students to enjoy fishing, hiking and horseback riding this summer in the beautiful Turtle Mountains.
