Wolf Camp ran its first nature and survival summer camps in 1997. We now offer a host of camps for kids, youth, adults and family. Directors Kim & Chris Chisholm are on site all week with our skilled staff instructors operating at our hallmark 6-1 average student-teacher ratio that’s so critical for safe, profound, and fun outdoor experiences.

• Lake Sammamish Day Camps
• Overnight Youth Camps at Lake Sammamish & Mt Rainier
Voted Best Wild Nature Day Camp in the last Golden Teddy Awards run by parentmap.com surveying the Puget Sound Region. Almost all our staff is returning for Summer 2024 so we still have space in many camp weeks, but register by the month of May to ensure space.
