"We had a really great time--it was fun, and LOTS of great information! Looking forward to the next one." - Janet Traweek, Homeschool Class Parent, Vancouver WA, January 2011

"I am so glad something like this exists in this area to facilitate awareness among people about the natural world. I am thankful for Chris and Kim dedicating the time to making long trips over the pass just to accomplish this." - Tiffany Olvera, Parent of Wolf Journey Homeschool Classes in Ellensburg, November 2010; and from December 2010: "I enjoy being in an enviroment where my knowledge and skill are appreciated and I want to learn at the same time. It is a wonderful sharing that sparks the creative juices. We cannot wait for another meetup."

"It was great! The kids loved it and so did the adults! We plan to continue the activities at home and look forward to the next class." - Brandie Penningroth, Homeschool Parent of 4 from Mission, B.C., Sept. 2010 attending Mt. Vernon Wolf Journey Classes, and from November 2010: "Another great class! The kids were so excited to show off their rope making skills that they were still twisting away at 10:30 pm! Thanks." - Then from December 2010 after arranging a class in Sumas WA for other Homeschool Families from British Columbia: "My family enjoyed yet another great wolf camp! Really liked the incorporation of outside activities as well as inside ones. Great activities and information. I love that I get to learn new things right alongside my kids. The group was awesome and we learned a lot, as usual. Kids are inspired to look around outside and see what other uses that they can find for plants that we have on our property! Many thumbs up!"

"We really enjoyed this class! So much interesting information and fascinating for both kids and adults. My daughters talked about it for hours after it was over. We'll definitely be back next month and we'll probably do the summer day camp too. Thanks, Chris and Kim!" - Jill Caywood, Parent in Ellensburg Homeschool Class, October 2010

"Chris - I just wanted to let you know how thrilled the kids were with their wolf camp experience. Also, thanks so much for the feedback.... Hope to see you at some of the homeschool classes." - Julia Taylor, Fox Island parent of Puyallup Day Camps & Wolf Journey Classes 2010

"Hey Chris! Antonio LOVED being at your camps this summer. He seemed a little more mature and self-assured than he was before... Cool! Do you have any camps coming up this fall that Michael and I should know about? Thanks a bunch." Lisa Pacot, September 2010, Parent of Day Camper turned Overnight Camper, Shoreline, WA 2004-2010

"We are definitely on board for Wolf Camp again next summer ... and only want to attend Wolf Camp in the future.  I knew Ethan would love it, so I'm glad we made him give it a try. Thanks again for providing such an awesome camp opportunity for the kids. We feel very grateful that Wolf Camp has become such a meaningful part of our summer tradition." Thea Kleiber, September 2010, Bellingham Parent of Overnight Campers, 2007-2010

"This is a wonderful camp! I have been going every year for the past 7 years and I still love it. At wolf camp kids get to experience things that most people would never get to try, like tracking a wild animal or playing all night capture the flag. I recommend this camp very highly to anyone who is interested in learning survival, awareness, and many other outdoor skills." Parr Stover, 2010, Day Camper turned Overnight Camper turned Youth Mentor

"This was my first time going to camp, and I had so much fun and learned more about nature than I ever have before! I feel like every other thing out of my mouth is a story from wolf camp! And Chris, Kim, Rachel, Andrew, you were all so nice! Thanks so much! :)" - Cheyenne Dennis, Vancouver, WA, Wolf Journey Peaceful Arts & Music Camp 2010

"Hi Chris. Thanks for your note. From what I can tell, Kareis had a great time. He said it was the best camp he had ever, ever been to. Over the last few weeks he has often referred to something that happened at camp or something he learned. I noticed when I picked him up that he had a different energy about him -- in a very positive way. I think it was really good for him to bond with a group of boys. He wants to do it again next summer in the "advanced" group because he wants to dig the camoflage trenches. Several other parents of Kareis' friends have asked me about it and I told them he had a very good experience, so maybe they'll try it next time. Thanks again!" - Debbie McDermott, Parent of Camper in Secrets of the Ancient Scout 2010

"My son Joe wore his Wolf Camp shirt today.  And that made me think about what a wonderful time he had at Wolf Camp way back in June!  It was a terrific way to start our summer.... Again, thank you for providing a welcoming, warm environment for Joe at Wolf Camp this past June. Take care, Margi Hansen." - Olympia Day Camps at Wolf Haven 2010

"This camp has taught me amazing wilderness skills in a large range, from survial in the witderness to tracking animals and making natural medicine. I reccomend this camp, especially the overnight ones to anyone whoe loves nature or likes being outside." - Preston Stover, Age 14, Seventh Camp Year, Youth Mentor in Training 2010

"Hi Chris. Bella had a wonderful time and said that Wolf Camp was even better this year and she felt like she learned so much! I forgot to ask you where you were looking for feedback which we will gladly give as we would love nothing more than many more years of Wolf Camp for both of our daughters." - Lori Faulkner, Seattle Parent of Camper in Wild Herbology 2009-10.

"Thank you for the great week -- Lucy couldn't stop talking about camp and all she was learning.  We got a mini-lecture every day after we picked her up. (Presentations for parents were) really nice, by the way! - Kim M., Mill Creek Parent of Day Camper in Wild Chefs & Herbology, 2010

"Our son has had a fantastic week. He's already talking about what camp he wants to do next year (herbal) and doing overnight camp too when he gets older. I'm so pleased with all of it and think you two are fantastic at what you do. You will definitely have campers from our family for years to come." - Jenny K., Seattle Parent of Day Camper in Future Survivors Fun, 2010

"This workshop was awesome! We found tracks left by raccoon, elk, deer, great blue heron, coyote, river otter, and others. With help from (Kim &) Chris' lovely assistant Skye we learned to distinguish wild from domestic canine tracks and were introduced to the arts of determining the age of a track and interpreting what the animal was doing / thinking when it made the track. We finished the day with a stroll through the woods for practice finding animal sign in forested areas. It was a great time and we all learned a lot!" - Jurgo Bielowski, Tracking Workshop, 2010/06/05

"I went to Clark's Creek Park in Puyallup last night to attend a a class about tracking animals. We went into a park, near dark, to learn how birds interact with other birds using five different communication styles. Chris & Kim, the instructors, identified the alarm calls of a robin being vocalized to others and sure enough we spotted the dark form of a Barred Owl in the direction of the alarm calls. Later we saw the owl swoop down and grab dinner off the forest floor. Just to show off he landed in the tree above us with a mouse in his talons. I was sold. Just being able to identify a bird is great but limiting, knowing it's vocalizations helps you understand the pulse of the forest. A more dimensional awareness in the woods learning these bird calls is important. It's like the difference between an Imax 3D movie and a rerun on TV in a foreign language. Anyway I had a good time, also learned how to handle nettle plants. He said it's the most nutritious plant in the forest. Indians used the fiber for fish nets, very strong stuff." - Mike Weatherby, Wolf Journey Class, 2010/04/29
