The state Game and Fish Department invites all North Dakota schools participating in the National Archery in the Schools Program to register for the annual state tournament. The 2012 tournament is held April 13-14 at the VFW Sports Center in Bismarck.
Schools can enter teams and individuals in the following grade level divisions: elementary (4-6), middle (7-8), and high school (9-12). Teams must have 16-24 members, with a minimum of five from each gender. If smaller schools wish to form a team, archers may participate up one grade division for team competition, but still be considered in their true division for the individual category.
Small schools of 100 students or fewer (all grades combined) may also assemble teams from NASP schools in the same town, county or district. Schools that cannot form a team may register students for individual competition.
Recognition will be given to the top placing team in each division, the top five males and females in each division, and the top scoring male and female regardless of division. Top scoring individuals are given early registration and receive priority in flights for the national tournament, held May 10-11 in Louisville, Ky.
For more information regarding the tournament, schools should contact Jeff Long, NASP State Coordinator, by email at jrlong@nd.gov, or call (701) 328-6322. To learn more about the archery in the schools program, visit the NASP website at nasparchery.com.

In our earlier days, travel planning was all about the shoestring budget—finding the cheapest bed or campsite, no matter the trade-offs. Today, our approach has evolved. For us, a "big trip" starts by securing high-value accommodations in an incredible setting without breaking the bank. Once we know airfare is manageable and the destination offers the culture, landscape, and outdoor recreation we are looking for, we zero in on where we will lay our heads. Here is how we lock in comfortable, memorable stays while keeping our overall travel costs under control. Kauai 2024-view from balcony 1. Establish a Single Base of Operations We typically design our trips around a two-week timeframe. Rather than hopping from hotel to hotel (or condo to condo) every few nights, we prefer setting up a single base of operations.
