Saturday, July 30 session 10 am - 12 pm
Saturday, October 15 session 10 am - 12 pm (7/28/22 update: only one space remains!)
Fee $100--Pre-registration required
Includes photo shoots at our two photography platforms above fence lines and a guided tour of the Center. Be aware that one of the platforms involves a short hike through the woods and both platforms require climbing stairs. Also be aware that while the wolves look fabulous with their full coats in February, winter can be rough on our hill and could mean hiking up our driveway and being outdoors in snow and cold temperatures!
Photographers do NOT go into the actual wolf enclosure at any time, nor do we take photos of you with the wolves. This is an opportunity for you to bring your own camera and take photos of the animals.
Limit of 10 participants per session.
Please note: non-photographers must remain in the parking lot area or else will be charged the $100 fee.

After years of people asking if they could stay in one of our tepees, we have decided to provide guests the opportunity to rent a tepee for the night. Normally reserved for our overnight camp staff, we are making our newest tepees available for visitors. These hand painted, 18 foot traditional style Lakota tepees include a floor cover, liner for privacy, and door flap. Outfitted with various futons and/or mattresses, pillows, and blankets, this lodge will be a cozy overnight experience!
