We’ll move slowly\, pause often\, and let curiosity set the pace.\n\n\n\nWho It’s For\nAdults who feel drawn to nature and creativity\, those who love journals – or want to start one\, artists\, educators\, quiet observers\, and curious wanderers. Anyone who wants to reconnect with the land and themselves. No experience needed.

SUMMARY:Timber Framing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register for Timber Framing Workshop \nTimber Framing Workshop at The Wolf Ridge Farm\nTimber framing is the craft of joining wooden posts and beams together without the use of nails or metal fasteners. Timber frames are simple\, strong\, and elegant\, and have stood for centuries around the world. In this course\, students will learn the fundamentals of timber framing\, from the use of hand and power tools\, to the layout and cutting of mortise and tenon joinery. On the final day of the course\, students will work together to raise the completed frame\, and will go home with the knowledge and skills to continue their timber framing practice and build structures of their own.   \nStudents will be housed on site at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in dormitory-style accommodations with meals provided at the on-site dining hall. \nThe structure being built during this course will serve as a covered tool and equipment space for Wolf Ridge Farm. Wolf Ridge Farm grows 10\,000 pounds of produce seasonally\, which is utilized in the Wolf Ridge dining hall and distributed to the surrounding community through farmers market\, food shelf and farm-to-school programming. \nCourse instructor Jenna Pollard has taught timber frame courses in Minnesota\, Washington\, Missouri\, New Hampshire\, Vermont and Arizona\, and has been timber framing since 2010. She has built over a dozen timber frames\, from her own small cabin to large pavilions for community gatherings. She is excited to be teaching this workshop to share timber framing with others\, and to build a structure that will support Wolf Ridge Farm. \n$750 Tuition & Lunches only \n\n\n$1260 Tuition\, Lodging & Meals \nSchedule: Daily 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nRegister for Timber Framing Workshop \n\n

SUMMARY:Bio-Blitz
DESCRIPTION:Register for Bio-Blitz Camp \nSummer Camp Website \nFor students entering grades 8 – 9 \nHave you ever wondered how many species of animals live around you? That is exactly the question bio-blitz camp tries to answer at Wolf Ridge! A bio-blitz is an event that tries to catalogue as many species as possible in a certain location. We will use the Wolf Ridge campus and will focus on a different category of animals during each day of the event\, using scientific tools appropriate for that group. This could include looking for mammal tracks\, using dip nets to collect water bugs\, binoculars to look for birds\, setting a light trap for moths\, identifying the plants around them\, and so much more. Campers will see an ever-growing list of species through their whole time at camp! \nWant some healthy competition? The two bio-blitz sessions run during the first and last weeks of camp. Who can find more species? Or\, join in on both and see what new things emerge later in the year! \nSession 1: June 23-26 \nSession 2: August 9-12 \n

SUMMARY:In The Company of Trees Forest Bathing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nIn the Company of Trees: The Silence that Speaks\nJoin us for a three-day forest bathing retreat at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in Finland\, Minnesota — one of the North Shore’s most breathtaking natural settings. From August 31–Sept 2\, you’ll slow down\, step off the grid\, and reconnect with the living world through guided forest bathing walks\, fire circle reflections\, a twilight wander under the waning moon\, and quiet time among old trees. Woven throughout is the grounding wisdom of Stoic philosophy — not as lecture\, but as a lens for noticing what the forest already knows: that stillness clarifies\, impermanence teaches\, and presence is enough. Whether you’re carrying exhaustion\, transition\, or simply the weight of too much noise\, this retreat offers something rare — unrushed time in good company\, with the trees doing most of the talking. \nAbout the Instructor:\nDavid M. Motzenbecker\, PLA\, ANFT \nFounder\, Motz Studios Forest Bathing Experiences \nDavid Motzenbecker didn’t set out to lead people into forests—he set out to design them as an award-winning landscape architect. But over time\, the quiet call of the forest became harder to ignore. \nAs the founder of Motz Studios\, David now walks between worlds—where forest and human meet\, where design becomes medicine. His therapeutic forest bathing walks are rooted in the Japanese tradition of Shinrin Yoku and blend Stoic philosophy\, design insight\, and nature’s healing power into meaningful\, transformative experiences. \nOne of ANFT’s Top Three Certified Walk Leaders globally\, David has led walks for nearly 3\,000 participants since 2018. His approach invites even the busiest minds to slow down and listen. The forest\, in his view\, is not an escape\, it’s a way back to what matters. His experiences are calm\, focused\, and deeply effective—helping busy\, high-performing individuals slow down\, reconnect\, and find clarity through nature. \n \nREGISTER NOW \nLodging Information \nDirections to Wolf Ridge
