“We had a wonderful experience and learned so much about wolves, how they have been villanized, and how they are vital creatures to the ecosystem.

They were clear about the fact that these are wolfdogs. There's a rise in these wolf sanctuaries because of the rise in wolf popularity from movies and TV in recent years prompting people to breed them to have as pets, but they end up being mishandled because the owner was unprepared for their wild instincts and complex needs. All the wolfdogs they have are rescued.

Colette did a great job educating and also preparing us to meet the wolfdogs. We felt safe the entire time and you can really get a sense of each animal's mood by simply watching them.

Wahkan was eager to meet us and immediately friendly. We were told it took 5 years for him to become this friendly.

Kiyuska was anxious and afraid of my husband. We were told that she doesn't like men likely from previous abuse. She constantly paced and looked at him to make sure he wasn't a threat, but eventually warmed up enough to take food from his hand.

There were 8 month old pups that we saw but didn't personally interact with since they are young and have not learned how to be gentle yet. We were told that they are usually shy and reserved but that day they actually showed interest in us and eventually settled down to be very calm. Great progress for their integration.

Yes, these animals can be dangerous if they feel threatened but they are well cared for and very well handled.

Colette took many pictures and videos of our interactions and kindly edited and sent them to us.

The admission price goes towards caring for these wolfdogs. I'm glad we were able to have this experience and they provided great service and education about conservation.”

“It’s a great camp for children with serious illnesses, they can have fun, learn new things and have an amazing summer where they just need to worry about having fun. It’s a very inclusive place and has a great environment. I 100% recommend this camp.”
