2025 Summer Camps were a blast! Registration for Summer 2026 camps opens early next year.


Ready for an unforgettable summer? Join us at South Dakota Mines for our STEM summer camps and dive into the exciting world of science and engineering!

These aren’t your typical camps. You’ll get to roll up your sleeves with hands-on experiments, go on epic field trips, and learn from awesome professors who know what it’s like to work in STEM careers. Plus, you’ll be on a real college campus, getting a taste of what it’s like to learn and explore at South Dakota Mines.

If you’re coming from out of town, why not make it a family adventure? The Black Hills is the perfect setting for a summer getaway, with endless opportunities to explore. Need help planning? Black Hills & Badlands and Visit Rapid City are fantastic resources.
