Wolf Camp DEIJ – Black Lives Matter as do Brown & Asian immigrants in our country. We are grateful to be here on the land and waters of the Puyallup, Nisqually & Snoqualmie

Our Virtual Outdoor Camps were featured in the New York Times on July 6, 2020 and check out how we exceeded standards for in-person summer camp protocols during the pandemic era.

We were voted BEST NATURE CAMP and BEST FAMILY CAMP of 2019 by Parent Map, the region's premier family resource, in their Golden Teddy award survey.

We were also selected by the Better Business Bureau as a "2019 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics" finalist!
