Northern Lakes Impact Center

The Northern Lakes Impact Center is dedicated to providing quality Environmental Education, Teambuilding and Training programs.  Our main office is located at our primary partner-camp facility in northern Wisconsin.  The Northern Lakes Impact Center does not own or operate its own camps; instead, we partner with camps that have facilities which enable us to provide programs that meet the needs of our students.

 

Our partner facility at Lake Beauty in Long Prairie, MN is just a short drive by Interstate or major highway from each of the following cities:                                                                                             

 

 

The camp at Lake Beauty is home to a diverse combination of wildlife and ecosystems.  While attending an Environmental Education program, students will have the chance to study raptors in flight, track deer along the lake’s edge and observe a wide range of animals, including bats, beavers, owls, red fox, rabbits, turkeys, eagles, and wolves.  Ecosystems available for study include converted farmland, coniferous and deciduous forests, a 247-acre lake, a stream and bog area, and 450 acres of wilderness.

Enrich Your Present Curriculum

We offer both day (Grades K-2) and residential (Grades 1-12) programs. Residential programs can range from 2 days / 1 night up to 5 days / 4 nights. In addition, we can even bring some of our programs right to your classroom! (Please call for pricing and availability.)

 

The Impact Center’s comprehensive curriculum focuses on educational concepts geared to meet the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, Minnesota Academic Standards and the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) standards.    Students will discover that learning comes naturally as they work with their professional instructors to explore the outdoor settings throughout the 450+ acre site.  Our program encourages active participation in each study session, including hands-on experiments combined with first-hand experience.

 

In addition to environmental studies, schools can choose to include social outcomes in their curriculum.  With classes like Initiatives, Low Ropes, High Ropes Course and Climbing Tower, schools can design programs that will teach students conflict-resolution skills, enhance self-esteem and develop leadership potential.

 

Here is just a sample of the over 80 different classes we have available:
