“The entire Riparian Trail loop will be filled with outdoor activities,” said Thea Miller Ryan, Director of the Outdoor Campus. “That’s about a mile of reptile and amphibian touch tanks, fishing, kayaking, archery, bb guns, paintball, activities and games for the whole family.”

This year, the event also features a free class on shotgunning techniques with Dan Griffith, and another on predator calling, including free coyote calls. Visitors can learn fish cleaning techniques in the pond tent plus see hunting dog demonstrations.

The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required. The Outdoor Campus is part of South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks and a joint project with the City of Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation.
