The 6th grade Indiana Dunes Trip is planned for October. Room 317 & 216 will be leaving  Wednesday, October 2nd and returning Friday, October 4th. Room 311 & 214 will be leaving Monday, October 28th and returning Wednesday, October 30th. Here is a brief summary of what the trip entails:

Dunes Learning Center is encircled by one of the most scenic trails in the park—The Little Calumet River Trail— providing a 3.5 mile loop around our campus and into the Chellberg Farm and Bailly Homestead historic sites. Woodland wildflowers abound along the river trail and beaver activity can be witnessed while hiking through a mixed hardwood forest. The nearby Cowles Bog Trail, a 4.6-mile loop, winds through some of the most biologically diverse areas of the National Lakeshore—including a section of dunes along the southern edge of Lake Michigan. During their time in the Indiana Dunes, students will visit many different parts of the National Lakeshore and surrounding communities to learn about the history and diversity of the dunes through games, hikes, stewardship projects, tours, and many other exciting activities.

Students will be sent home with a paper packet this week. The packet includes a field trip slip, packing list, and example schedule. In addition parents must complete the below form.
