INTRODUCING THE NEW DUNELAND YMCA HEALTHY LIVING CAMPUS - OPENING (PHASE 1) FALL 2025
The Duneland YMCA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit social services organization dedicated to Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
At the YMCA, we believe that when we devote our full strength to our mission and cause, work in partnership with others, and build on our commitment to the children, families, and underserved people of Duneland, we can address the most pressing issues of our community unlike any other organization. The Duneland YMCA Healthy Living Campus is combining adaptive reuse and new construction to create a new community hub and park in the heart of Chesterton. With the inclusion of multiple non-profit and healthcare partners, we are building more than just a YMCA. The campus will be an innovative space fostering collaboration within a one-stop-shop capable of addressing a variety of community health and wellness needs.

I definitely think the Healthy Living Campus will be the center of the town. I'm most excited for the community to have access to all the amenities the campus will provide. I think investing in this project is important for the future of this town. There will be so many avenues for child development, physically, mentally and socially. Investing and creating the right spaces for leaders to teach and coach our kids how to be good humans is ultimately the best legacy a whole community could leave behind for generations to come.

We think this is a wonderful concept and so much more than just a Y! We are hopeful that this project will ignite a spark in the community that ripples throughout the downtown area. The community has been so good to us, to our kids, that it is important for us to give back by investing in the Y!

Having the YMCA Healthy Living Campus partners in the same building is going to be lifechanging for our parents who can schedule a massage, join a swim or art class, or sit in the sauna. The campus affords them a chance to have a two- or three-hour break by allowing their child to move from therapy sessions into Y care while parents have the pure luxury of taking care of themselves for a few hours.
