In-person Summer Camps 


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.
