Outdoor Campus Sioux Falls Expansion
The Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls has introduced thousands of people to outdoor recreation through free classes and programs. For its next chapter, we’re setting our sights on even greater impact.
Project Summary
Outdoor education programming at the Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls has outgrown our current space, limiting our ability to achieve goals for recruitment, retention and reactivation (R3) of hunters, anglers, trappers and other outdoor users.
The campus expansion will allow our educators to accommodate the high demand for outdoor skills education programs. Updates include:
- Indoor and outdoor archery and BB gun ranges
- A dedicated space for processing and cooking wild game and fish
Project Donors
This project was made possible thanks to the generosity of many dedicated donors, whose combined gifts totaled more than $2.3 million. Their support plays a vital role in our mission to enhance outdoor recreation for future generations and preserve our parks & wildlife.
