This planning process as comprehensive as this involves significant time and energy from many people and professionals. As you may imagine, such detailed planning costs a considerable amount.

This process was funded through two significant matching leadership gifts from Rotary Charities and Mike Dow. An additional generous grant from the Les And Anne Biederman Foundation also helps support this planning process.

It is worth noting that Mike Dow’s generosity is what makes the Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes possible in the first place. He donated the property to Rotary Camps & Services in 2006.
