Storm Mountain Center

Storm Mountain Center A secluded year-round wilderness retreat in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Originally staked as twelve gold mining claims in the 1880s and one of the original mines is still accessible on Spring Creek. Storm Mountain Center has been continuously operated as a camp and retreat since 1957. Our historic and beautiful site is a place where guests and campers find peace and adventure and experience deeper connections with Christ, creation, and community. Sign up for one of ou

r conference camps, arrange a family reunion or company retreat, or just come for a quiet "place apart" and experience God's awe-inspiring creation.

Today, we took “horsing around” at camp a little too seriously. Received a call that a miniature horse was lost on one of the trails and went to go hang out with it until Pennington County Sheriff's Office could take over. Goes to show, you never know what a day at camp could look like! Thankful for the call and even more thankful for the laughter that comes with an unexpected turn of events!

If you've been to camp, you've probably seen Tanner at some point, whether it's been at registration, taking photos, leading tie-dye, mowing, occasionally cooking, or just running around setting things up. Being a site director involves putting a lot of moving pieces together to make the ministry happen! When you come to camp this summer, be sure to say hi as he runs to the next essential camp thing!

We're still looking for a Female Counselor to join us this summer! You'll get to work with camp staff, like Tanner, and be a part of an amazing ministry opportunity.

This is not an exciting post, but rather a “be watchful” for scammers using the SMC branding.

We have had about six separate comments from various fake profiles today of someone trying to sell Storm Mountain branded Alumni tshirts, mugs, and hoodies online, tagging our supporters and followers.

These posts are fake. We have no current plans to sell anything online and urge anyone who sees these comments before we have a chance to remove them to please report them to Facebook immediately and to NOT follow the link.

We are doing our best to delete the comments in a timely manner but would appreciate your help in reporting them to hopefully put a stop to this quickly.

Thank you!

With Earth Day being two weeks ago, today is a good day for an update!

With your help - between monetary donations, pledges, and purchases off the Wish List - we have raised the equivalent of over $2,300! Most of the bulbs and fixtures for the seven spaces have arrived and will be swapped in the coming weeks! Thank you so much for those who have helped make this possible!

We are still hoping to get Allison Main and Allison 3rd Floor lit this year. The total amount still need to make that possible is $2,660.
