First week at The Indiana Dunes Learning Center

So I have spent this last week training and preparing for the summer camp kids that will be visiting here at The Indiana Dunes Learning Center. I get the privilege to be a camp counselor and assist the naturalists in their duties of education and development here at The Dunes.

Kids will be coming here for a week of environmental education and social development. They will get to learn lots about The Dunes and also interacting with and in nature. Creating a bond with nature and learning how to actually connect with your natural environment is probably a skill that is lacking in much of today’s society. Making the connection with the land that surrounds us is important if we expect to be able to overcome many of the environmental challenges that are facing us today. Learning how to live sustainably and learning how ecosystems are built will teach us plenty as we humans grow in population.

With that said allow me to introduce to you a couple slide shows that show off some of this beautiful park here in northern Indiana and some of the great people that I am lucky enough to be with and learn from.
