Dunes Learning Center is proud to be the education partner of Indiana Dunes National Park. During the school year, DLC partners with teachers to deliver STEM-strong outdoor education programs. Once school is out, Dunes Learning Center offers a range of summer camp options so kids can explore their very own National Park.
At Dunes Learning Center, campers are immersed in the incredible natural environment of Indiana Dunes National Park. Ranked 4th among all National Park sites for biodiversity (there are 428), the park also features natural and historical landmarks. As they explore a variety of locations, campers connect with nature and history while forging friendships, developing skills, and building confidence.
“Our son’s first overnight camp experience was great! He loved the people, and we loved the size of the camp.” - A parent

About the Dunes Camp Experience: Cabins, Cowles Lodge, Food Service!
Dunes Learning Center is accredited by the American Camp Association. We follow all best practices and are working hard to keep both campers and staff safe and healthy.
This accreditation is made possible thanks to generous annual support from the Friends of Indiana Dunes.
“My son and his friends have been singing camp songs ever since they came home last week. Just hearing about the adventure of the camp, my younger son cannot wait until he gets to go in a few years. My son has been planning our family vacations for the next year, and wants us all to start hiking together as a family in the dunes.”
Arts activities made possible by the Indiana Arts Commission, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
