A Mix of Family and Age-based Activities

  • Afternoons are spent with family group activities
  • Separate adult and child classes take place in the morning
  • Explorers, 3-6 years old, spend mornings with a naturalist who has both experience and a great love of working with young children
  • Older children spend time with a Wolf Ridge naturalist exploring and learning about the natural world
  • Adults can spend a quiet morning relaxing or participating in natural history classes of their own
