{This is part 3 of a 5 part series about must-do activities in Sioux Falls: Washington Pavilion, Great Plains Zoo & Delbridge Museum of Natural History, Outdoor Campus, Sertoma Butterfly House & Marine Cove, and Falls Park}
 
The Outdoor Campus is managed and operated by the South Dakota Fish, Game & Parks. The campus is your ticket to outdoor adventures. It provides classes and events on a wide range of outdoor activities. Want to learn to fish, kayak, forage, or cook over a campfire ? The outdoor campus can help. Classes are available for even the youngest visitors with programs offered for ages 3 and up. I recommend signing up for classes as soon as they open though since most fill up quickly.

In addition to a wide variety of classes the campus offers miles of hiking trails and an indoor museum that showcases South Dakota’s outdoor life.

When I visited I had the opportunity to make smacos over a campfire. Basically, a smore + peanut butter (minus the graham cracker) wrapped in a tortilla shell, wrapped in aluminum foil, tossed in the campfire, cook for 2 minutes. It is all kinds of ooey gooey goodness and is now a campfire staple for our family.

This is a place that I would visit again and again if I lived in the area. Whether you are a visitor or resident you’ll want to spend some time exploring the Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls.
