We are going to summer camp the end of July at Medicine Mt. in South Dakota. We are in Arkansas and just wondered if anyone had suggestions for sightseeing or extra stuff for the trip. We are planning Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Any opionions or tips for this particular camp would be helpful also. I understand it is a primitave camp. There are 12 boys ages 14-17 going on this trip.

 

Thanks for any info.

Carol

Be Prepared! Seriously, the Black Hills are famous for their unpredictable weather.

 

There are tons of things to do in the area. Lots of historical locations (Deadwood). Wall Drug is still worth seeing. Custer State Park has a great herd of Bison. There are some cool caves nearby if you like that type of thing. Reptile Gardens is good for those who like snakes and such. Bear Country USA is drive-thru park to see bears in the wild. Some outstanding fossils have been found in the Black Hills as well and the dig sites may be accessible, you would have to check that out. Lots of rugged natural beauty in the Badlands.

 

Enjoy.
