What's Up Wolf School?

What's Up Wolf School?

We have big announcements for school aged kids near Aptos and Livermore! This week the Web of Life (WOLF) Field School is busy preparing for our new Outdoor Learning In-Person Program starting at the end of August at both Monte Toyon Camp and Camp Arroyo. We are excited to invite small, socially distant, consistent groups of 12 or fewer students to experience our outdoor classroom.

Meet WOLF School Online

The Web of Life Field (WOLF) School is still here! 

We miss outdoor school, and we miss our students, and we miss our teachers too! During this shelter in place time, we have been sharing resources, learning, adapting and growing just like the redwoods and the kelp forests do.

We are bringing our best efforts, our most creative thoughts, and our positive intent to helping teachers and their students continue to “build respect, appreciation, and stewardship within the web of life.”

The WOLF School mission is our mantra and as we move toward regenerating in this new education environment, we are listening to our staff, our teachers, and our stakeholders. If you want more information about the WOLF School, if you want to get involved, to come to camp, to help kids learn in the outdoors, to help plan our future in educating our students, please reach out to Heather, the WOLF School Director, at hbutler@wolfschool.org.

We would love to include you in the WOLF Pack!

What do we need most, you ask? 

  1. Can you donate?
    Any amount will help us as we make the transition to social distance outdoor education programs and try to address the needs of our classroom teacher partners for the future.  

  2. Can you help promote WOLF School by liking, commenting and sharing our social media posts on Instagram and Facebook?
    We are using our social media posts and website to make announcements and to offer interesting science videos from our colleagues, and some WOLF School originals. You can even share your own WOLF Camp story with us by using #MyWolfStory.

  3. Share your ideas & memories!
    Please send us your great ideas, memories and what you like most about WOLF School. We also value what you think might be a great idea for WOLF to think about as we are creating our future together.

We are grateful for your thoughts and shares, thank you. Here’s a few photos taken prior to SIP, we hope you enjoy!
