After a camper is deemed eligible, they must have the following information submitted before the communicated deadlines:
- A camper registration form, including our camper code of conduct
- A physical exam by a licensed provider within six months of the camp’s starting date
- A physician report signed by the licensed provider giving the physical exam
Registration will close once we hit our capacity of 48 campers. Campers who attended Spirit Camp the year before are given preference. Any remaining spots will be given to those on our waitlist. Due to our limited capacity, we can’t guarantee that a child on the waitlist will get the opportunity to attend camp before they surpass the camp’s age range.

We recommend parents and guardians write letters to their campers. This helps campers stay excited about camp and decreases their chances of homesickness.
From experience, we know that one of the best ways to manage homesickness is to prohibit cell phones at camp. No cell phones are allowed at camp.
If there are any concerns or emergencies at camp, our team will reach out to the contact we have on file as soon as possible. If families need to communicate with their camper, they can call the camp at (605) 328-7157 or after hours at (605) 328-0088.
We don’t allow visitors at camp except during emergencies. In such cases, parents or guardians must first contact our camp coordinator before their arrival.
The only exception to our visitor rule is a special parent program scheduled on the last day of camp for families of graduating senior campers. This program is a ceremony to celebrate our graduating campers’ achievements.
