Camp Overview
Wolf Ridge is a residential environmental learning center that offers a wide variety of outdoor education programs to campers and adults, ranging in age to 3-18, as well as adults. Wolf Ridge's mission is to "develop a citizenry that has the knowledge, skills, motivation, and commitment to work together for a quality environment." We do that by offering camps and programs that focus on outdoor recreation, outdoor skills, environmental exploration, natural and cultural history, personal growth and development, and team and community building. We also add in a healthy dose of summer camp style fun, with activities including arts and crafts, all camp games, and campfires. Wolf Ridge programming utilizes a large campus in Northern Minnesota, along with 2 rock climbing walls, 2 high ropes courses, 2 lakes, and an organic farm. Wolf Ridge's summer camp program includes "traditional" week-long summer camp sessions, as well as wilderness trips, specialty camps, academic programs and family camps.
