Wolf Journey Study Days

Spend the day with Chris & Kim at our Study Sites!

For adults and families at the Wolf Campus in Puyallup WA

Adults as well as parents with children are invited to spend the morning, afternoon, or all day with Chris & Kim as we visit our Wolf Journey study sites, practicing tracking, sketching plants, photographing birds, working on artisanry crafts, and journaling our experiences for our WordPress Blog site. You are free to choose your own study site on our property or in the beautiful neighboring Clark's Creek Park, and receive guidance from us on your own nature journaling, artisanry crafts, field exercises from the Wolf Journey Earth Skills Training Course or other study. Cost is $25 for 9-12 in the morning, $25 for 1-4 in the afternoon, or $45 for all day from 9:00-4:00, but please note that at least half of your time may be spent studying independently.

Costs & Refund Policy

Costs are listed with each description, and if you would like to ensure a space in the class(es) you like, then be sure to RSVP. Our refund policy is written just above where you sign your registration form. It reads that if we cannot accept your registration due to closed enrollment or other reason during the application process, you will receive a full refund on deposits. Otherwise, deposits are not refundable. If you need to cancel after making further payment, you may receive a credit for a future program, minus a 25% administration fee of your total payments, in case of emergency. Of course, you will receive a full refund if the program you sign up for is canceled and not rescheduled at a time you can attend. Participants may be asked to leave at any time for inappropriate behavior or unresolvable match to camp, and no refund (nor credit necessarily) will be given for the portion of the program which is missed.

Transportation & Packing List

Click Here for our Driving Directions.

Adults may buy one of our Frost Mora survival knives for $25 if you wish. Youth need to pass our Level III safety test before buying a knife. We also have journal materials, binoculars, field guides, instruments, extra sanitary supplies, water bottles, rain ponchos, compasses, blankets, and of course sunscreen available when necessary for use. Many products are also available in our camp store, with all revenues donated to the WOLF Foundation - Max Davis Scholarships.

Most important is a good night’s rest and a really good breakfast every day. In particular, if young people stay up late before any camp day, they will most certainly have difficulties the next day with us. Everyone should get a very tired camper back at the end of the camp day, but we often find that sleep deprivation or malnutrition are common causes of fatigue or behavioral issues before 3:30 in the afternoon.

Most important is a good night’s rest and a really good breakfast every day. If you have a favorite item you want to bring, even if we've said you don't need to, just let us know before the day starts or whenever you need them during camp. Otherwise, these are the items to pack:

___ Day pack that is comfortable and functional, with a full, small water bottle that will not leak. Also, bring two oversized plastic garbage bags to cover your gear in case of rain.
___ Lunch, using zip-locks, tupperware, and other reusable containers to reduce trash.
___ Sunscreen, sunhat, and hat for warmth, thermal socks, thin gloves, water shoes for those rocky shores, and shoes or boots that can get dirty. Please make sure you have broken in footwear in advance to avoid common blisters.
___ Although we always try to keep clothes and footwear as dry as possible, please allow the clothes to get dirty and become "naturalist" clothes for forest exploration. Take a trip to Value Village or the Salvation Army or another used clothing store to find such clothes if necessary. Also, remember that it's not the same temperature by the water or in the wooded areas, and we often crawl through thick vegetation, so long-sleeve pants and a long-sleeve shirt are required, although you should also bring a pair of shorts for days we stay in the lawn area. Earth-tone (natural) shades of clothing (e.g. browns and greens) are best and clothes which are "quiet" as they brush against things.

___ An entire change of clothes and shoes is a good idea days when it might rain, but please balance this with thought about what can easily be carried in a backpack and what might get lost, such as one of the shoes falling out of the van door unnoticed. Adults even have a hard time keeping track of items in vans! Also remember that cotton clothing is comfortable, but worthless if it gets wet. Rain gear is optional and loud, but it can be stored in our vans if you are unsure what to send along on any given day.
___ Fleece, wool, polypropylene, or nylon pullover. We provide emergency rain ponchos when necessary.
___ Work gloves, harvesting sack, journaling materials, favorite field guide.

Lost & Found Policy: You can pick up lost items from the Wolf Camp store up to 90 days after your camp is over. Otherwise, forgotten items will be picked up by charity. To help avoid loosing things, please put your name on every item you bring. For clothes, print your name on the tag. Thank you!
