Youth Programs
Following the lifting of Covid 19 restrictions, WolfWays is bringing back its wolf education presentations - grades pre-k through 12 - into schools. To date, we have shared the stories of wolves with over 10,000 school students - for free!
Currently, our on-site programs are only available on the Olympic and Quimper Peninsula in Washington. If you do not live within our service region, please check our Remote Programs page for alternative options.
Engaging Multimedia Presentations!
Our interactive hands on programs provide a solid introduction to wolves. They include a replica wolf skull and track, life size wolf and coyote cut-outs, life size cloth bull elk, plus lots of images, video/ audio clips and wolf stories from the field.

Most presentations are 60- 90 minutes in length.
