Dunes Learning Center made a big impact in 2024, serving more than 15,000 people along the south shore of Lake Michigan with place-based environmental education programs!
However, last year's record attendance is in danger of becoming a high-water mark. Operating costs are increasing, scholarship requests are at an all-time high, and federal funding is at risk or canceled.
This spring, we need your support to make sure this important work continues. Your gift today will help environmental education in the Indiana Dunes endure while we navigate these uncharted waters.
The official Education Partner of Indiana Dunes National Park, Dunes Learning Center is proudly serving more than 15,000 students annually across Northwest Indiana, Chicago and beyond.
DLC has been inspiring curiosity for nature with year-round programs for school groups and summer campers, since 1998. Our strong scholarship program breaks down financial barriers, gets more kids outdoors, connects science with the real world, and empowers kids to discover how they can make a difference. While delivering memorable outdoor learning adventures overnight and under the stars, we create pathways to environmental careers.
We are developing the stewards of tomorrow... TODAY!
