"At Wolf Camp, I got to meet people interested in things I'm interested in. Camp also gave me confidence and taught me things that I thought I'd never be able to learn. Wolf Camp is a wonderful chance to get out and make new friends and learn new things about nature and wildlife." – Sage Snook, Age 12 in 1998, three year veteran of Wolf Camp.

At first I thought we’d be digging up worms or other stuff, but Wolf Camp was different - you learned but it wasn’t straight forward - it was put in a fun way. I liked the facial masks in the cabin, and when we spent the night by our secret spot ... half the fun was playing capture the flag in the dark! - Julia Cortopassi, age 13 in 2003, two year camp veteran.
