Throw your learning experience to the WOLVES!
The Wolf Conservation Center is excited to offer distance learning programs to classes, camps, rotary clubs, corporate groups, and more. Choose from a variety of program topics, ranging from animal adaptations to critically endangered wolf recovery efforts, and enjoy a 45-minute immersion into the wild world of wolves!
Each program can be supplemented for classroom-based lesson plans and offers an in-depth look at wolves and their ecological importance. Programs are suitable for elementary – college aged students and align with various Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Contact us to learn how we are able to support your science standard requirements!
Programs are also suitable for adults and the general public.
A flat rate of $100* is required to reserve one 45-minute program. Sessions can be taught via Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, and more. Note: Attendees will not see live footage of wolves during these programs.
If your class would like to write letters to the WCC following their program, please visit our Letters to Educators page.
