Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center

Cost: $50

The Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center is an outdoor classroom established in 1971 located in Finland Minnesota. The Learning Center hosts a broad spectrum of year-round environmental and outdoor learning experiences. More than 10,000 overnight students attend classes, trainings, camps and family programs annually on their 2,000-acre campus.

The field trip will begin at the MN99 Wolf Ridge NTN site where participants learn about stream chemistry in Sawmill Creek and what it means to classify a stream as “healthy”. After learning about how the site is used in the Wolf Ridge curriculum there will be two options for participants to explore the campus.

  • A hike up Marshall Mountain which will provide views of Lake Superior. Wolf Ridge is bordered by the Baptism River and features creeks, two lakes, and the Sawmill Valley.
  • A tour of the campus with the Executive Director. The tour will include a stop at the Margaret A. Cargill Lodge, the first renovation project in the world to receive the Living Building Challenge certification. The campus also hosts classroom buildings, an organic working farm that supplies the cafeteria, and two outdoor ropes courses.

Lunch will be provided in the cafeteria on campus.

The bus will stop at the airport on the way back to the Inn on Lake Superior.
