Wanted Teens Seeking Adventure

Captain's Log June 22, 2018-Ogden Dunes/ Marquette Trail Our final day of camp we partnered with the Calumet Artist Residency and contributed to the Gary Poetry Project.   The campers helped weed the Lagoon Outlook Garden at Marquette Park in Gary’s Miller Community.   Then we had a debriefing session where the campers presented their initial findings to their friends and family. Thank you to Miller Pizza for the dinner donation! Our campers are from Gary, Griffith, Munster, Porter and Valpo.   They will conduct service based learning across Lake, Porter and La Porte Counties. They will showcase these projects to the public on Saturday, October 13 from 4-6pm at the Marshall J. Gardner Center for the Arts.      Thank you to our Gold Level Sponsor,  NWI Clean Air , our backbone organization  Miller Beach Arts & Creative District , our community partner  Family Folklore Foundation, Inc . and all our individual donors.     Please email 

Captain's Log June 21, 2018-Gary/ Marquette Trail/ Chanute Trail/ Miller Woods The kids learned about the importance of creating inclusive programming and park designs for all as they helped with the Adaptive Sunset Paddle.  View this post on Instagram Had to move inside due to the rain but we still ran our workshop on how to paddle with the #DouglasCenter and the #BlindSocialCenter.

Captain's Log June 20, 2018-Ogden Dunes/ Marquette Trail The kids prove the need for accessible train stations and completing the Marquette Trail.  They road the train and our camp leaders had to deliver their bikes via truck.    It would be easier to 1 get on at Miller Station with a bike or use a trail. While biking they got polled about whether or not they would like to see the Marquette Trail completed.  They concurred that a united trail would be wonderful. Some suggested that if that took a long time maybe having a bike share stall in each train station like they have in Gary’s Miller community would be a good in-between.   They also created nature diaries and performed an oral history of the NWI dunes with members of the Family Folklore Players.  Thank you to our Gold Level Sponsor,  NWI Clean Air , our backbone organization  Miller Beach Arts & Creative District , our community partner  Family Folklore Foundation, In
