During the summer months we are a resource for lake associations, summer camps and other civic organizations that want to conduct dynamic, hands-on education for their members and their community. These summer programs are designed to give the layperson an introduction to lake ecology, land use, and environmental economics. These programs have been hailed as the "highlight of the summer" for associations who use our programs to educate their community members and leaders about their lake. Our programs are fun, educational, and provide fund-raising opportunities that support local lake associations in their educational and capacity building efforts.
