Meals

Additional Details for Volunteers

We strongly recommend bringing your own vehicle as we are 30 miles from town, and there are no transportation services. For those without a vehicle, we can pick you up at the airport or bus station. A vehicle, however, has many advantages. We are located in the rolling foothills of the southern Black Hills. There is much to see and do here. We are within 10 to 40 miles from many outstanding places to explore such as Mt. Rushmore National Monument, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Wind Cave National Park, Crazy Horse Monument, the Mammoth Excavations, many hiking trails, etc. We are within 2 ½ hours of Devil’s Tower National Monument, and 1 ½ hours from Spearfish Canyon and the Badlands National Park. There are also walking and hiking opportunities on campus and adjacent to campus.
