Overnight Camps (Ages 7 to 14)

Red Wolf Overnight Camp

Find yourself in the woods this summer!

Picture this: You’re sitting around a campfire, nestled into a beautiful forest. Your belly is full of wild foods you foraged that morning. It’s the first meal you’ve eaten with your freshly carved spoon and you’re pretty proud. For a moment, your mind drifts to your latest project, a basket woven from the bark of a nearby birch tree. Suddenly laughter fills the space – your friends are sharing memories of games and canoeing earlier that day. When everyone goes quiet, all you hear is the crackling of the fire and loons calling in the distance. You take a deep breath: clean air and the scent of pine trees. You smile. You feel at home in nature, with these people. More calm, more confident, more happy, more healthy. More yourself. 


Nature-inspired transformation

Red Wolf overnight camp is a transformative outdoor experience for kids. Campers have the rare opportunity to fully immerse themselves in wilderness. Living backcountry with peers and experienced mentors, campers explore the forest, sleep in tents, learn new wilderness skills, play nature games, and more. They leave with a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence and resilience, life-long friendships, and a deep connection to nature.

* Red Wolf takes place in the backcountry, with no running water, electricity, or permanent structures.

Summer 2025 Details:

Our camp registers by age ranges (7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14), however, individual camp groups are created closer to the start of camp and allow for some mixing between ages - as always, we will do our best to accommodate friend requests, but cannot make guarantees.

If campers choose to join us for consecutive sessions, they are welcome to stay with us at camp on the Saturday night between weeks 1 & 2 and weeks 3 & 4. There is no option to stay on the Saturday night between sessions 2 & 3. 

We also offer two-week Red Wolf overnight camp programs for 11-14 year olds! These two-week programs are designed for new or returning campers who are craving more time in the backcountry, and offer an opportunity to form stronger bonds with their group, and the land.
