Join Us for the Short Term Immersive Naturalist Training (S.T.I.N.T.) Camp in the Boundary Waters!
Are you looking for an enriching experience that deepens your teen’s connection to nature? Our S.T.I.N.T. camp invites young naturalists to immerse themselves in the breathtaking wilderness of the Boundary Waters. Led by experienced Wolf Ridge staff, campers will explore core naturalist concepts while engaging with the unique ecosystems that make this region so special.
Throughout the camp, participants will practice essential skills such as slowing down, making keen observations, and asking insightful questions. In addition to on-campus learning, campers will venture into diverse habitats—from lush wetlands to serene pine forests—discovering the incredible life that thrives in these environments. They’ll delve into the fascinating worlds of lichens, plants, moths, and dragonflies, enhancing their understanding of nature and developing their skills as aspiring naturalists.
This immersive experience not only fosters a deeper appreciation for the natural world but also encourages personal growth, curiosity, and teamwork. Your child will return home with a wealth of knowledge, unforgettable memories, and a newfound passion for the great outdoors.
