This past week, nine lucky campers and two excited MPEC counselors loaded up the van to embark on the final camp of the 2015 Summer. Our destination, Mission Wolf, a 200 acre sanctuary for wolves and a nature center for people.
Mission Wolf has always been an MPEC camp favorite and offers campers the chance for a unique educational opportunity to better understand these wonderful, wild creatures. At each Mission Wolf camp we try to give back to this incredible volunteer run organization, by participating in a few small service projects around the property. The campers all worked incredible hard and were rewarded with not one but two wolf visits with the three residential Ambassador wolves. The wolves showed their appreciation for our hard work by sharing their attention and plenty of wolf kisses!
Each night and morning we were treated to a beautiful mountain choir; 37 howls comingled in a hauntingly beautiful harmony that resounded through the hills. It was a perfect way to wrap up this summer season!
