The Wolf Creek Education Center (WCEC) has provided students with educational opportunities in Redwood National and State Parks since the early 1970’s. Wolf Creek’s main purpose is to provide curriculum-based environmental education programs for students. We also provide a space where education related rental groups can stay, learn, and explore the parks. If you have questions about making a reservation for a school group, or an education related rental, please contact us through our reservation email.

The Wolf Creek Education Center is located near Orick, Ca, and is one of two outdoor schools in Redwood National and State Parks. The Howland Hill Outdoor School (HHOS) is located near Crescent City, Ca, and also provides curriculum-based environmental education programs for students, as well as facility rentals.
