Wolf Ridge Summer Camps

Contact us through the form below and we will get back to you quickly. If your question is urgent, you’re welcome to contact our office.

We’re located in Finland, Minnesota, on Minnesota’s scenic North Shore. Our campus is approximately four hours from the Minneapolis/St. Paul International airport and two hours from the Canadian border. Our main campus is a 10-minute drive from Lake Superior.

All summer youth Wolf Ridge campers stay in our Summit Lodge.

Each room features its own bathroom and shower, bunks beds, and camper gear cubbies. Camp staff also live in the dorm, with one counselor per room. There are cozy gathering spaces for game playing during downtime, plus a grass field just out the door.

Kids and staff gather at the nearby campfire ring before meals to sing songs, share stories of their adventures, and learn what the next part of the day will bring.

The Summit Lodge is the perfect place to grow the deep, closely-knit community that makes camp so special.

Every camper is guaranteed two roommate requests, as long as they follow the proper procedures. Please understand in making roommate requests, families need to follow these guidelines:

• Each camper may only request up to two other campers.
• All campers must request each other.
• All campers must be of the same gender and in the same group (i.e. Discoverers, Voyageurs, etc).
• Both requests must be made during the registration process or in an email to the camp director at least three weeks before the start of the session. 
• Please understand it is very challenging to make changes to rooming assignments during check-in, so please plan in advance.

All participants are placed in a room based upon the gender with which they identify. Please see our campus policies to learn more.

Meals are served cafeteria-style in our dining hall at 7:45 am, 12:15  pm, and 5:15 pm.

Whether they’re coming in from a long day outside or getting ready for the day, campers will satisfy their appetites with our choice-driven, healthy, hearty meals. Most of our produce comes from the Wolf Ridge Organic Farm, while meats and other products are sourced as locally as possible. 

Snacks are served each night during storytime from 9:00 to 9:30 pm. Examples of snacks are granola bars, fresh fruit or cheese, and crackers.

The Wolf Ridge kitchen provides for the following special dietary needs:

• Vegetarian/vegan
• Food allergies or sensitivity
• Diabetic
• Gluten-free
• Religious requirements

Our kitchen and Dining Halls are peanut- and tree nut-free. We substitute sunbutter for these products in our condiment line. Please note dietary requests, concerns, and preferences when completing camp registration materials.

Our buildings are fully accessible, but our campus terrain varies. The trails on our main campus at the top of the ridge are suitable for all-terrain wheelchairs. To provide access to the rest of campus, we have equipment available to provide the best possible experience for everyone. Please let us know ahead of time if your students might need to utilize our accessibility equipment.

Each group of 16 campers has two counselors assigned for the whole week and will be working with an additional naturalist through most of the weekly events. Two staff members are present during all activities.

We recommend that your child powers down and takes a break from the world of electronics. We recommend that campers leave all electronics at home (except cameras). We do not allow cell phones at camp.

We offer a variety of scholarships and discounts for campers each year.

At the time of registration, a $150 non-refundable deposit must be made to hold your camper’s spot. This $150 is then applied to the balance of the camp payment. Refund requests must be made in writing and received no later than two weeks prior to the start of the camp session. All cancellations made less than two weeks prior to the start of the camp session are non-refundable. There is no refund for transportation costs.
