Giraffic Park is the YMCA of the Black Hills / Rapid City summer day camp, held off Highway 385 for children entering grades 1-6 (plus a Middle School Adventure Camp for grades 7-9), running June through mid-August. Days emphasize nature exploration, swimming, sports, outdoor games, creative arts, STEM projects and field trips with a low-tech, traditional-camp approach.

My son has been a "camp kid" since preschool and he has loved every summer. When he aged out he continued to participate as a Jr counselor where he has learned more about being a role model and being responsible.
The YMCA cares a lot about the community of the Black Hills. This summer camp is an extension of the YMCA mission to build strong families, strong kids, and strong communities!
