Adventure Meets Community Impact

While the rally is centered on fellowship, FCRV is proud to continue its tradition of giving back. This year, the

community outreach initiative features a partnership with the Friends of Maga Ta-Hohpi, a nonprofit who works

with the US Fish and Wildlife Service who manages the Huron Wetland Management District. Other beneficiaries

are the Huron Salvation Army Food Pantry, the Beadle County Humane Society, and the Ronald McDonald

Houses in Sioux Falls.

Throughout the week, members will have the opportunity to engage with the local landscape through curated

environmental activities. These sessions are designed to be both relaxing and insightful, offering a chance to

learn about the preservation of the local natural resources that make South Dakota a premier destination for the

outdoor community.
