Education
Did you know that clean lakes start with each of us, in our own backyards?
It’s important that everyone from kindergarteners to their grandparents learn about the waterways, and what lives in and around them. That’s why we offer classroom and community aquarium programs, indoor, outdoor and virtual learning, and more!
Classroom Lake Experience
Each school year, 30+ classrooms throughout Kosciusko County receive a 40-gallon aquarium that houses several native fish species, including sunfish, perch and bass.
Destination Field Trips
We offer a suite of outdoor, indoor and virtual programing for K-12 students. All curriculum is designed by the Lilly Center education team to meet state and local standards.
Lake Adventure Days
This one-of-kind field trip is specifically for local fourth-grade classrooms. Students get to fish, do water testing, learn about lake habitats and more.
Lilly Center Art Contest
Each year, the Lilly Center Art Contest invites 9-18-year-olds from across Kosciusko County to submit their creative depiction of our local waterways!
