The Web of Life
At WOLF School, we believe in the interconnectedness of all things, and in each individual’s responsibility to learn about, protect, and enhance those connections for present and future generations. By getting kids outdoors, we are able to build their connections to nature, themselves, and their larger roles within the web of life, inspiring lifelong learners and empowered global stewards.
