"At Wolf Connection, we empower youth to connect with their authentic selves as they experience relationships with rescued wolves and the natural environment. These deeply intuitive animals inspire young people to be fully present in their bodies, release ideas and behaviors that no longer serve, and understand their unique role in a human “pack” or community. Youth learn to forgive, and give themselves and others the love and respect they deserve."
Wolf Connection is a youth empowerment program AND a wolfdog rescue center and sanctuary. We only rescue and accept wolfdogs, meaning dogs with various degrees of wolf content. Throughout this website we might refer to them as “wolfdogs”, “wolves”, “wolf”, “the animals”, “the pups”, or “the pack”.
Wolf Connection curriculum will walk your student through the way wolves live by and encourage them to connect to these life lessons by getting to know themselves. This Fall 2024 season, we are pleased to offer Wolf Connection every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as an extra class to your student's schedule. Term 2 morning students will have a 5th period class and term 3 afternoon students will have a 4th period class. Students who complete the 12 lesson program will earn a wolf connection off-campus fieldtrip on Friday, December 6th. If they attend and complete their assignments, students can earn up to 13 credits of elective credits.
