🌲 **DuneVersity 2026 is officially in the books!** 🌲

Our incredible 7th and 8th-grade Environmental STEM students just wrapped up an unforgettable 3-day, 2-night immersive experience at the Dunes Learning Center!

From hands-on water quality testing to exploring unique regional ecology and learning about environmental stewardship, these students dove headfirst into real-world science. They asked big questions, worked as a team, and connected with nature in a whole new way.

A massive thank you to the fantastic educators at the Dunes Learning Center, our wonderful chaperones, and everyone who financially supported this trip to make it possible for our students. Seeing their passion for science come alive in our local environment was truly inspiring.

Check out some highlights from our outdoor adventures!
