This summer Ravenwood Outdoor Learning Center will be offering several day camps in Columbia Falls and Kalispell! In Columbia Falls, there will be three sessions of camp in partnership with F.H. Stoltze Land and Lumber Company at their Trumbull Canyon Camp. In Kalispell, there will be one session of our popular Wilderness Kids Club hosted in partnership with Kalispell Montessori Elementary School.

There are many distractions and challenges for kids in our fast-paced society, and an increasing number of negative trends—obesity and health issues, screen addiction, attention disorders, stress, depression, violence, disrespect, substance abuse, you name it—all of which need our attention and action as a community. Nature makes us healthier, happier, and smarter. Ravenwood is here to help parents and teachers get kids outdoors learning and growing, naturally!

In its 20th year and having served over 10,000 local youth, Ravenwood is a community-based non-profit organization that also provides outdoor programs for area schools through funding from the Whitefish Community Foundation’s Great Fish Community Challenge, contributions from local donors, and a fee structure designed to make the programs accessible to families and schools from all income levels.

Campers learn animal and bird tracking, wilderness skills, edible and medicinal plant identification and processing, fire skills, handcrafts, and get to spend quality time in nature.

Summer program registration opens at 7:00 pm, February 10th, 2023. Call (406) 260-8620 for information and visit the website at www.ravenwoodolc.org for details on registration, our income-based scholarship discount, and other Ravenwood programs.
