After eating lunch at Battery Park we to the High Line. The former elevated train track has been turned into an elevated hiking trail with natural plants and flowers for everyone to enjoy, as well as a lot of local shopping! The High Line has slowly been extended each year and truly is an amazing accomplishment. One that should be replicated elsewhere.
Friday's visit was packed on a busy day in New York City. Our first stop was at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan. Campers were able to take some to look at the massive reflective pools that are in the footprints of the former twin towers. We discussed some of the details of that day and why so much time and money was spent on making the memorial and the new Freedom Tower.

Yesterday we went to New York City! After a stroll through Central Park we went inside the American Museum of Natural History. We had a guided tour for part of the day and then we went into the new Pterosaur Exhibit. The exhibit was very hands on and had all of our students participating in some sort of activity or research.
