Camp attendees will engage in a variety of outdoor, hands-on activities involving Dakota language and culture, plant and animal identification, archaeology, geology, and more. Each child will also create a personalized craft to bring home. The Great Plains Zoo will present an afternoon program introducing campers to some of their ambassador animals.
