Attendees will be able to try our outdoor activities such as kayaking, canoeing, archery, fishing, fly fishing, archery disks and outdoor cooking. In addition to these, we are excited to introduce some new activities and demonstrations to our event this year.
A Teddy Roosevelt impersonator will attend the festival for the first time. He’s setting up camp on the festival grounds and will meet with people all day about conservation and hunting. Science Steve from SDPB will also be here to cook up some crazy science experiments and put on an unforgettable science show. We also have two outdoor shows attending the event this year – Vern Boer’s Wild Dakota and The Bearded Redneck, Robert Rohrer.
South Dakota State Parks offers activities for younger kids near The Outdoor Campus and visitors who follow the trail of booths and activities will also find free t-shirts to color and take home. Touch tanks filled with frogs, toads, fish and snakes are always a hit, and SD Game, Fish and Parks officials will be on hand to answer questions about habitat, pollinators, hunting, law enforcement and wildlife.
There will also be food and drink vendors, so attendees can stick around all day to experience everything the event has to offer. The Outdoor Campus is a part of SD Game, Fish and Parks and annually teaches tens of thousands of people to appreciate the outdoors through educational programming.
