For the first time ever, we’ve reached full capacity for our Dakota Bowl XLVII football camp! Due to the overwhelming number of registrants, we are unable to accept any additional sign-ups and will not be able to accommodate walk-up registrations this year.

We are thrilled to see such incredible excitement and participation in this camp, and we’re looking forward to an amazing experience for all who have registered. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure a safe and well-organized event for every participant. Go Knights!
