Take your students on a trip to the International Wolf
Center in Ely, Minnesota without setting foot outside your
own classroom! Using the latest technology, we offer
engaging Distance Learning programs for a variety of
audiences via two-way videoconferencing.
All programs meet appropriate state and national
education standards. Students participate in learning
activities about wolf ecology and behavior, comparative
literature, and more. Programs infuse science, social
studies, language arts, math, and geography for a virtual
field trip experience.
All Distance Learning programs feature live wolf
"guests" running, tussling, and possibly even howling
in their naturalized habitat.

Explore the world of the wolf! Using the wolf as a
fascinating case study, students examine the important
roles that predators, prey and scavengers play in three
ecosystems where wolves live. Through an interactive
simulation we will demonstrate the way energy and nutrients
flow through an ecosystem. All programs feature real-time
observations of the International Wolf Center's resident
ambassador wolves.
Cost: $120/per class of 40 students or less, plus $60/for each additional participating class.
Length: 45 - 60 minutes
Grades 1 - 5
Who's afraid of the "big, bad wolf"? In this interactive
program, students explore the influential role that
literature plays forming our views and attitudes towards
wildlife. We compare and contrast two folk stories in
which the wolf is a main character, then compare literary
portrayals of wolves with the real thing! All programs
feature real-time observations of the International Wolf
Center's resident ambassador wolves.
Cost: $120/per class of 40 students or less, plus $60/for each additional participating class.
Length: 45 - 60 minutes
All Ages
Journey with the International Wolf Center pups during their first year of

instinctive behaviors within the hierarchy of the International Wolf Center
ambassador pack!
Cost: $120/per class of 40 students or less, plus $60/for each additional participating class.

What people are saying about International Wolf Center distance learning programs...
- "A mixed age audience is hard to keep everyone engaged, but Adriane did
a good job with the Wolf 101 program. She was knowledgeable about the
wolves (pack life, pups), conservation (reintroduction and conflicts with
farmers), and history. The audience had a lot of questions for her. Thank
you for being accommodating for a Saturday program!" -Lorain
County Metro Parks/ French Creek Nature Center, Sheffield Village, OH
- "Thank you so much for including us in the Wolf Ecology distance learning
session. My students enjoyed the presentation, seeing the other class and
especially seeing the wolves in their habitat. What an opportunity! I feel
the distance learning sessions are very engaging for the students. Thank
you for providing us with materials and a website to visit. I was able
to share the website with the class by way of LCD projector. The background
information helped the students to stay involved."
-Driftwood Middle School, Hollywood, Florida
- "I would recommend the Wolf Ecology program to others in my district
because it fits right in with our current science unit. Students remained
engaged throughout the program. This was very appropriate for 5th grade
science, and seeing and hearing live wolves is a great experience for
students." -Horseheads Central School, Horseheads Central School
