The park is located between the Canadian and US borders and is managed jointly by both countries and their park services. It was pretty cool that the US girls never had to cross into Canada and we did not have to cross the US border, but we still got to spend the weekend working and playing together.
We had a great time and the facilities were great. We slept indoors and I was happy to find that I had a nice room to sleep in with 2 twin beds and real mattresses.
We sang songs and did skits in a performance hall, we did tie dye pillowcases, we planted trees, we toured the sights and museums of this park that was created in 1932. We were invoved in a service project, and had a workshop with a photographer. The older girls from both countries got together to roast marshmallows.
I was pretty darn exhausted for days afterward, but I wouldn't have missed this camp for anything!
This memorial is for Game Wardens and Natural Resource Officers who lost their lives in the course of duty. It is located at the North American Game Warden Museum.
The 9/11 Memorial
Ten steel Girders from the Word Trade Center were installed at the International Peace Garden.

The Peace Tower
120 feet high with two of the columns located in Manitoba, Canada and two in North Dakota, USA. The columns are separate and independent but located on a common base which is intended to represent democracy.
150 girls tie dyed pillow cases
The girls and leaders planted about 700 trees. (I took pictures)
We made a lot of new friends.
