You stumped me on a lot of those questions. Adaptation is one of the most important concepts explored during the Long Lake Experience. Similar to an organism in an ecosystem, an environmental education curriculum must adapt to changing needs.
Adaptation is the key to Long Lake's success.
Long Lake Conservation Center is Minnesota's original residential environmental learning center. Change and growth have been constant since conservation officer Jim Marcum established LLCC in 1963. Now more than 6,000 students attend programs on our campus each year, from an average of 75 schools. Each school's Long Lake curriculum is chosen by that school's teachers, according to their group's specific needs. The array of classes to choose from is diverse, flexible, and designed to make the best use of seasons and natural phenomena.
