Camp Goodfellow by Rick A. Richards As she walks along a tree-lined road from the entrance of Dunes Learning Center to her offi ce about half a mile away, Sandi Weindling bubbles over with enthusiasm about the lives of thousands of young people touched by the programs hosted at the center. “Five thousand children a year come through here,” said Weindling, the director of marketing and development for Dunes Learning Center. “They come from across Indiana and from Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Chicago Public School, and private schools.” She said many of them arrive full of trepidation, but leave three days later brimming with confi - dence. The main lodge at Camp Goodfellow. (Photo provided by the National Park Service) lodge is shuttered and efforts are underway to re- store it; all that remains of the 10 platform tent lo- cations are concrete foundations. The stainless steel swimming pool is rusting away and the concrete tennis and shuffl eboard courts are in disrepair. But the grounds are full of modern, air condi- tioned cabins, said Weindling (each named for a native tree) and they sit in a semi-circle around a large, open grassy mall across from a modern lodge Campers stream through the gates of Camp Goodfellow at the beginning and cafeteria. of another session in the 1950s.

Why stay inside when you have all of this as your classroom?” said Weindling, spreading her arms wide to take in the sky, trees and land around her. Dunes Learning Center opened its doors in 1998 using the remnants of the former Camp Good Fel- low that opened July 20, 1941. It was built by U.S. Steel for its employees’ children and occupies 63 acres along the Little Calumet River. Today, Dunes Learning Center operates in con- junction with the Indiana Dunes National Lake- shore, which acquired the camp in 1976.

Campers take a hike at Camp Goodfellow sometime in the 1940s. (Photo provided by the National Park Service) When Camp Good Fellow opened during the early days of World War II, it consisted of an adminis- tration building, a caretaker’s house, 10 tent plat- forms, a washhouse, and dispensary.

Camp Goodfellow Continued from Page 3 Five years later, after the end of the war and an end to rationing, the camp was expanded to include a stainless steel swimming pool, a water fi ltration plant, pool house, four concrete tennis courts, three shuffl eboard courts, and a playground. Besides the children of U.S. Steel employees, Camp Good Fellow hosted the Gary Kiwanis Club, Chesterton Lions Club, Lake County Credit Union, Chicago Motor Club, the Gary University Club and other organizations.

Meals are served in the spacious great hall of the lodge at Dunes Learn- ing Center. (Photo by Rick A. Richards) In the 1940s, six weeks of the eight-week summer program were reserved for white children; the other two were for African Americans. Weindling loves the history surrounding Dunes Learning Center and is proud of the fact that the re- maining buildings of Camp Good Fellow are either being used or stabilized for possible future restora- tion and use. “All of these buildings are historical buildings,” The stainless steel swimming pool built by U.S. Steel. said Weindling. “This is a great place to come and (Photo provided by the National Park Service) enjoy nature.” Today, Dunes Learning Center hosts fourth-, But more importantly, Weindling said she’s proud fi fth-, and sixth-graders and has programs that of the fact that children are still coming to the camp involve science, math, social studies and language to learn about the outdoors.

After researching their fam- ily history, the 153 sophomores created shields depicting their relatives’ country of origin, reli- gion, and occupations, and added other elements symbolic of them- selves. Over the next several days, students gave class presenta- tions relating to their shields and the Medieval Code of Chivalry. “It’s a highlight of the course,” says Bumber, who has been teaching the unit for several years. “The kids are excited, and it’s a great way to conclude the grading period with enthusiasm.” The fi rst semester concluded for all Michigan City Area Schools students on January 18th.
