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

Housing and Meals

Your family will be housed in a private room in our family-friendly East Dorm. Each room has a private shower and bunk beds. We will provide an open day room for games and relaxation, a nightly snack, linens, and meals in our cafeteria-style dining hall.
