Why Medora?
Medora is a small historic Western town with a huge personality. Population? Just over 100 year-round residents. Visitors each summer? More than 300,000. That means a lively, festival-like atmosphere all season long, combined with the safety and friendliness of a tight-knit community.
On your days off you can hike and spot wild bison, horses and prairie dogs in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, go horseback riding, play mini-golf, ride the Medora Gravity Slide, watch the world-famous Medora Musical under the open sky, or join the international student crew for BBQs, bonfires and road trips. Many students travel on to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone and Chicago after the season ends.
