My daughter and class mates went to Wolfridge only to feel racially discriminated against. Kitchen staff were very rude. Staff was less then accommodating. I'm insurecis its was staff or a volunteer. Oddly no parent who had a crying student from the staffs behavior got a phone call.

I would NOT recommend this camp.

And if you dont believe me just send your child with a second phone so that they can actually tell you the truth about what's going on.

Sound like alot if not ALL the staff needs to trained or let go. Maybe implement better plans in the event of incidents that may occur.

Activities were pretty good, Food wasn't that good (I am a picky eater though), Lodging was great, but the shower was walk in and water flowed all over the floor. Experience was good overall though.

It was a great place, and something was off there. Me and my friends are pretty sure wolf ridge is haunted. Lights shut off, bangs were heard all through the night, but other than that wolf ridge was great, the food was good, and it was so fun!!

First, kids and adults did have fun and great learning experience..food is horrible so bring water, food and extra clothing (jackets break zippers-boots crack-stuff gets lost) Its great Food staff try to be healthy, but you can be healthy, edible and have hot food. Also, naturalist need to trust parents when kids are frost bitten in the cold and clothing (feet and hands) are wet and need to go in! Running and jumping up and down do not dry wet clothing.

I wouldn t listen to any of these 1 star reviews. I went there last year and I had the best time! I thought the food was alright, and I never met any rude or mean instructors there. I had a fun time

its a waste of money and there is no point of going because of the rain. if there is rain alot of activitys there that can't be done . I think $250 could have gone to something better like food, clothes, socks. I think a cardboard box would be a better use of $250 then wolf ridge. Wolf Ridge more like Moldy Hinge. Wolf ridge is for scrubs and i dont like scrubs.

I just spent 5 days with my daughter and we really enjoyed the experience. To all the other comments--yes the food sucks but it's camp. You just eat what they serve you. Stop worrying about the food and soak in the experience of where you are. Make the most of it and take your life into your own hands. Excited to go back with my other 2 kids!

I came here about 4-5 times with my school and a youth job program which was about 3-4 years ago. When I went there with my school I was in high school and I hated how they kept treating us teenagers like were little kids. I get that they want us to follow their rule but I just felt disrespected when I was being treated as a kid. When I came back again for my youth job they treated us more like adults than kids. The food and dorms is decent. The education that they provide there is well taught and the activities such as the rock climbing and ropes course is very fun.

Very disapppointed! Food was miserable and un-eatable! My son was sick the 1st night. They called me that night to say he was puking and if he was still sick in the morning I would have to drive up there to get him. I asked to speak to him and they said "No".
They said they would call in the morning to let me know how he was doing. No call....No call....I finally called in to work figuring I would have to make the 3 hour trip up to get him. After many calls to them, their response was " Do u want us to check on him?" Yeah, you have a sick kid.....someone should check on him. Then I waited for about 30 minutes before there response to me was " I don't see him anywhere so I guess he must be okay" Really......that's how they take care of sick kid. By the next day I was told by a chaperone that 7 kids were puking sick. I believe it was from the nasty cold food. Did I mention it was 50 below zero wind chill the days they were there.
