Wolf Family Rendezvouz

Bring the whole family together for a fun-filled, wolf-themed weekend! Enjoy private lessons on wolf ecology and guided hikes through the beautiful Superior National Forest. Participate in wolf-themed activities and observe our ambassador wolves in action. Then, attend our What’s for Dinner? program to observe our wolves feeding before you spend the night in the auditorium.

Activities and learning will take place both indoors and outdoors. Please be prepared with appropriate clothing for both.
