Choose an environmental education campus based on your travel budget, educational goals and desire to be near/far from your school. From the coast to the Sierra Foothills, the WOLF School can provide a wonderful educational adventure in many different habitats! Our seven campuses offer:

• Student dormitories and cabins
• Teachers’ lodging
• Healthy, kid-friendly meals
• Excellent field study opportunities in the outdoors

Student Dormitories and Cabins
Students attending the WOLF School stay in modern dormitory or cabin style lodgings equipped with comfortable bunk beds. Each room accommodates 4-14 students. Bathroom and shower facilities are modern and centrally located. Accommodations vary from rustic to retreat style, depending on the campus. For example some offer bathrooms inside the cabin and others offer a central bath house.

Teachers’ Lodging
Comfortable living quarters are provided for visiting teachers in modern cabin or dormitory style rooms. Bathroom and shower facilities are modern and centrally located. Accommodations vary depending on the campus.

Healthy meals
All meals are provided by a professional food service staff and served in the dining hall. We provide healthy, kid-friendly food in either a buffet or family-style setting. Students are welcome and often return for seconds and third portions. Every effort is made to provide menu alternatives for children, chaperones, teachers and staff with special dietary needs (for example food allergies, religious restrictions, vegetarians). To plan for a special diet at the WOLF School, please notify the WOLF School Office at least two weeks in advance of your program.

An example of a typical day’s menu consists of pancakes, cereal and fruit for breakfast, build your own sandwich (turkey, ham, peanut butter and jelly, cheese, vegetables, tofu), carrots, apple, trail mix and cookies for lunch, pasta with choice of vegetarian or meat sauce, salad and bread for dinner.

Excellent Field Study Opportunities
Each campus offers different opportunities for living and learning. From newly built Camp Tuolumne Trails, just outside of Yosemite National Park to Santa Cruz’s Camp Monte Toyon and Happy Valley, where outdoor science school can really focus on redwood ecology and coastal studies, each campus offers something different.
