Environmental education is both setting (out-of-doors) and subject (the outdoors, seen through the perspectives of science, history, art and most other disciplines). But most of all it is a method that teaches students how to use their five senses in observing, participating in and finally understanding the world - skills which will prepare those students for a lifetime of learning.

At Wolf Ridge the natural setting is the classroom. Located on a ridge which overlooks Wolf and Raven Lakes, the Baptism River, Sawmill Creek and Lake Superior, Wolf Ridge comprises more than 2000 acres of spectacular beauty. Its wide variety of habitats and careful integration of campus buildings with the environment enhance the learning experience.

Graduating high school seniors regularly recall their time at Wolf Ridge as their "most memorable" school experience. And, as evidenced by the large number of elementary school children that return to Wolf Ridge as adults, often accompanied by their own children, it is an experience that lasts a life time.
