Yellowstone Adventure!
An early 4 a.m. wake-up call was well worth it! 🌅🐺 Students headed into Yellowstone National Park to meet Wolf Biologist Jeremy SunderRaj and learn about the park’s famous wolves.
After watching wolves roam through Hayden Valley at sunrise, students used spotting scopes, tripods, and telemetry antennas to track collared wolves and learned about Yellowstone’s successful wolf restoration project. Jeremy shared how wolves have helped restore balance to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, how wolf packs are monitored year-round, and the challenges of living alongside wild wolves.
The restoration of wolves and bison to their natural habitats offered an inspiring lesson in conservation, education, and environmental stewardship.

Yellowstone adventures! 🐻
Living and playing in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem meant learning how to live in bear country!
At camp, students learned about the dangers of habituated bear behavior and the importance of keeping all food and personal hygiene products locked in designated bear-proof boxes. They performed skits about what to do when hiking in bear country—don’t hike alone, make noise, and always carry bear spray! 🥾🎒
Students also conducted a survey on the bear safety measures visitors were using while hiking in the park. While hiking Benson Peak for a scenic lunch picnic, they recorded how many people carried bear spray. Behavioral surveys like this help the National Park Service track the effectiveness of visitor education on bear safety and reduce negative human-bear interactions. 🌲⛰️
