Camp | South Dakota Summer sports camp

South Dakota summer camp is a supervised program for children and/or teenagers conducted during the summer months. Children and adolescents who attend summer camp are known as campers. The traditional view of a South Dakota summer camp as a woodsy place with hiking, canoeing, and campfires is evolving, with greater acceptance of newer summer camps that offer a wide variety of specialized activities. For example, there are South Dakota camps for the performing arts, rock music, magic, computers, children with special needs, and weight loss. There are also religiously-affiliated South Dakota summer camps, such as those run by Evangelical Christian groups. The primary purpose of many camps is educational or cultural development. A South Dakota summer camp environment may allow children to take healthy risks in a safe and nurturing environment.
