June 29 – July 3, 2026 FLOW = WOLF Spelled Backwards, for returning campers ages 8-15 with prerequisite
The Advanced FLOW Camp is designed to give returning campers a break from the routine of school, and to let go of their built-up energy. It’s an opportunity to have a safe environment to be completely outdoors, and great opportunity for freedom outside, like in the olden days. We’ll have a variety of stations to choose from like the meditation tree, natural music composition, silent nature walks, yoga/dance, theater, nature crafts, and a selection of our special survival, wildlife and herbal skills. Each day, participants will dive deeper into the free-flowing activity stations instructors have set up, with choice of our survival, wildlife and herbal skills, plus improvisational music composition, theater, and other creative outlets to let go of the routine built up in school.
Camp takes place simultaneous to the Wilderness Skills Sampler day and overnight camps, as well as the Advanced FLOW Overnight Camp for ages 10-17 with prerequisite of any prior camp with us, also run simultaneously on site following itineraries similar to the day camps.The itinerary for the Advanced FLOW Camp includes:
Monday, campers will spend the day in their own age group with their principle camp counselor, visiting stations including the meditation tree, natural music composition, yoga and free form dancing, improvisational theater, nature crafts, wildlife walks, campfire cooking, archery/at-latl/rabbitstick, workout station and more. At the end of the day, campers can sign up for the stations where they want to spend time the following morning and afternoon.
Tues-Weds-Thu, campers will start the day in a big circle with camp directors Kim & Chris Chisholm where they will break into their station groups and spend the morning. Lunch will be spent with their principle camp counselor before proceeding to the station where they chose to spend the afternoon.
Friday, campers will prepare for an afternoon presentation at the station they most enjoyed, such as a final theatrical or musical performance, guided nature walk, archery/at-latl/rabbitstick tournament, campfire food and medicine discussion, yoga or dance routine, and more.

STEP 3 – Pay balance during your summer camp weeks. We’ll email you an invoice this spring with camp prep info and balance payment options.

However, if you cancel (at any time for any reason is fine) we will save your payments as credit for you to use in future years, or you can choose to have us move the funds into our scholarship account if you prefer.

Refund Policy: Payments are not refundable unless we don’t accept your application. If you cancel for any reason, you may receive a full credit good through the following calendar year on appropriate and available programs listed on our schedule, although an additional deposit may be needed to secure your spot in the future program. If a program you sign up for is canceled and not rescheduled at a time you can attend, you may receive a full refund except in cases of natural (weather, geologic, wildfire, etc) disasters, grid failures, epidemics, government shutdowns, conflicts or curfews, or other unforeseen emergencies making it unsafe for staff and/or attendees to reach or use program locations, in which case all payments made will be held by us without expiration date for your future use in appropriate/available programs of your choice. Reasons include the expenditure of funds (property rentals, advertising, materials, admin staff time, etc.) long before programs take place, i.e. deposits make it feasible for Wolf Camp to schedule programs in the first place, but our mutually understood agreement is that Wolf Camp will run the program at the safest available time in the future. Finally, no refund, nor credit, is given if a participant is a no-show without prior notice, or asked to leave a program for inappropriateness as determined by our kids, youth and adult agreements for participation.
Day Camp Preparation: Agreements, Packing List, Health Protocols and FAQ’s
Day Camp Agreements for Participation
Hygiene protocols will remain the same as last year as long as there’s still little evidence of Covid/Cold/Flu transmission in the outdoors with room to spread out. To start each day, campers must pass our health screening. If there are reports of group participants who came in contact with an infection, we may provide n95 masks to wear when less than 3-6 feet from others. As before the pandemic, we require hand sanitizing when sharing tools and materials, before entering toilets, and we train campers with proper hand washing after campers exit toilet facilities with doors left open between uses to ensure ventilation.
Full vaccinations are strongly encouraged – we follow the scientific consensus – with tetanus shot (usually given as part of the normal Tdap vaccine series) considered the most important in the field of outdoor education. Otherwise, we know that due to our 100% outdoor setting, combined with health screenings, contact tracing, supervised hand washing, bathroom ventilation, mask use when exposure has been reported in a group, and individual/family style tenting at overnight camps, the risk of disease transmission has been negligible at Wolf Camp, so other vaccination records are not required.
