Reopening Plan

Due to rising cases of COVID-19 in Hughes County, we are reverting back to virtual summer camps starting July 6. 


Sign up for summer camp today!

SDDC camps are integrated into four learning pathways: explore, science, tech, and health, that focus on lasting teaching impacts. We help students find their path, develop their talents beyond school education, and gain college and career readiness skills to grow a workforce for South Dakota.

We adhere to the following protocols to keep our staff and campers safe:

  • Daily screenings will occur at check-in.
  • Limited group size, outsize classes.
  • Regular hand washing.
  • Staff will be masked, campers optional.
  • When possible, no sharing of material.

Professional Development

Check out our professional development for this summer. We have distance PD for teachers that will equip you with the lessons to engage students in hands-on learning that can be delivered in person and online. Our PDs are just the right amount of connecting virtually and in person experiences. Sign up today!
