Northern Lights Eco Adventures sprung from a desire to merge our community goals with local talent and expertise. A community plan is a living breathing document that grows with time.
In the summer of 2018 Northern Lights Eco Adventures piloted
our first Region Service Expedition. It encompassed four nights and five days
of expedition-based learning through the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and
Northwest Indiana.
The campers started in Michigan City and ended at the
Douglas Center in Gary. The campers backpacked/paddled/and biked through the
dunes and beach while learning about the local ecosystems and natural history
of the community.
The students also participated in local service projects and
community art projects. By the end of the trip the students created a goal with
an action plan dedicated to an individualized service project committed to
complete in their hometown. Check out their blog for more info on all our
adventures!
