Spend a week with the Wolf Ridge Teacher Training Institute and fully immerse yourself in the practices of a naturalist. This hands-on summer workshop invites educators to study watersheds, participate in bird banding, explore Lake Superior’s shoreline, and develop foundational outdoor pedagogy skills. Through nature journaling and experiential learning, participants gain tools to transform their approach to outdoor education. No prior experience is required, and family-friendly options make it possible to extend the adventure beyond the classroom.
Explore the North Woods and Great Lakes with Wolf Ridge’s Master Naturalist Biome Course. This week-long program, in partnership with the Minnesota Master Naturalist program, offers hands-on learning for all experience levels. Choose from meal-only, private suite, or shared lodging options.
Step away from the noise and into the wisdom of the forest during this three-day retreat at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center on Minnesota’s North Shore. Guided by David Motzenbecker, one of ANFT’s top certified forest bathing leaders, you'll experience immersive forest bathing walks, fire circle reflections, a twilight wander beneath the waning moon, and restorative time among ancient trees. Grounded in the timeless insights of Stoic philosophy, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover clarity, presence, and what truly matters.
Breathe in the crisp northern air and settle into a slower rhythm as autumn unfolds along Minnesota’s North Shore. This retreat offers space to pause and honor the seasonal transition through gentle movement, stillness, nature walks, and self-discovery at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center.
