Wolf Camp Theme Choices
Enroll now in your choice of themes taking place this week:


Future Survivors Fun

Artwork by Wolf Journey alumn Joanna Colbert. In the pictures below, campers work as a team to start fire with all natural materials; then in tandem to light fire by friction; and older campers learn safe hatchet use while scoring a log.

Future Survivors Fun celebrates its 12th year this summer. Re-create a traditional way of life, honoring the gifts of wood, stone, fire and water. We'll follow the Critical Order of Survival, practicing emergency response scenarios, building warm shelter, purifying drinking water, making safe fire, and using the most important plants for survival.

Campers will also witness bow drill fire by friction and then work with a team to practice it themselves. They will learn aidless navigation for lostproofing, and craft tools of stone, including a course knife. They will make "rabbit sticks" and other honorable hunting implements, learning that all life - plant, animal and mineral - is sacred to be respected.

After this camp, the children will feel like they achieved many successes in an atmosphere of challenge, wonder, and captivating fun.

For more details on the skills introduced during this introduction to wilderness survival, read the description of our Survivors Side of the Mountain and Stone Age Artisan overnight camps.


Wildlife Tracking
&
Birding Games

Artwork by Wolf Journey alumn Joanna Colbert. In the pictures below, check out the coon and skunk saw in the park; then Chris shows campers how a beaver chewed the stick they found; and campers demo camouflage movement during a game.

Wildlife Tracking & Birding Games celebrates its 14th year this summer. Tracking means knowing absolutely everything about the maker of tracks, discovering what it’s really like to be a bird or other animal, using Sensory Awareness to know everything that's going on around you, and being able to find a person who was lost.

During the week, campers will learn the Language of the Birds, work together to plaster casts of favorite animals, craft tracking sticks, safely move through the woods, and investigate trails, lays, larders, and other signs of life all around.

This camp is full of exciting, interactive, challenging and cooperative games, as campers learn to work as a team to develop skills of leadership, cooperation, patience, orienteering, dexterity, fun. Their ultimate goal will be to complete coyote’s challenge: decoding mysteries, following maps to hidden treasures, and navigating obstacle courses.
