Enviromobile
The Enviromobile travels to schools around Lake County providing environmental outreach programs focusing on Waste Reduction (Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling.) Programs are designed for one classroom at a time, but up to three classrooms can be taught simultaneously, each with their own educator. Teachers may register for their entire grade level. Programs typically run between 45-60 minutes in length.
The LCSWMD also offers Summer Enviromobile activities for day camps, libraries, YMCA programs, and various other summer programs.

Field trip @ the Environmental Education center
Join us for a full day of environmental education at the EEC! Our educators will provide a day of quality, hands-on activities for your students. Doors open at 10:00 am for registered field trip groups and programming concludes at 1:00 pm to allow time for your buses to return to their regular routes. Students are encouraged to think about what it takes to pack a “zero-waste lunch” as lunch time and eating spaces are provided. This destination is available to Lake County, IN schools and groups. We look forward to hosting your group!
