Welcome to
The Ebersole Environmental Education Center
About Ebersole
Owned and operated by the Lansing School District, the Ebersole Center is a four-seasons, barrier-free residential environmental education center, youth camp, and retreat destination located in beautiful Wayland, Michigan (approximately 75 miles west of Lansing).
The Ebersole Center site is 238 acres of undisturbed natural beauty and exceptional biodiversity. Over two miles of accessible boardwalk trails invite guests to enter wetland and forest areas alike. While the central campus is clean and modern, every effort is made to preserve natural areas in the most pristine state possible.
Guests enjoy the Center site for a variety of reasons. For students it is a great place to study the natural world in a "hands-on, minds-on" way. For retreat groups it is a peaceful get away far from the hustle and bustle of the office. For nearly anyone it is an inspirational place to connect with nature, to renew, refresh, or feel for the first time the wonder and awe of our natural world.
Ebersole's Mission
The mission of the Ebersole Center is to empower people to connect with nature through environmental education, outdoor recreation, and stewardship.
Ebersole's Vision
The Ebersole Center will encourage personal growth by providing excellent programs, facilitated by a nurturing and highly-trained staff, anchored in a safe and supportive community. Each guest will have fun, feel empowered, acquire new knowledge and skills, feel valued and respected for who they are, and develop a sense of belonging.
