Critter Crates & Loaner Equipment

Game, Fish and Parks provides crates complete with props and curriculum to help aid educational instruction. These crates options include everything from hides and scat to aquatic invasive species for your class or group. Game, Fish and Parks also has loaner equipment available. If you are looking to provide your group with an outdoor experience but need the equipment, we may be able to help with our loaner equipment.  

  •  Crates can be reserved for a 2-week period. Loaner equipment check out duration varies at each location. 
  •  A $75 deposit is required for each crate. When crates are returned, Campus staff will inventory the contents, and if all is returned in good condition, they will shred the deposit check or return checks from an institution.
  •  Locations of Critter Crates/Loaner equipment for pick up and drop off; Outdoor Campus- Rapid City, Central Education-Fort Pierre, Outdoor Campus-Sioux Falls
