We begin our programs with a brief slide presentation in our cozy cabin.<\/p>\n<p>After our informative introduction to wolves, we begin a wolf-related activity. Currently we offer the group an opportunity to give gifts to the ambassador wolves! Prior to visiting the wolves, the kids will assemble &#8220;enrichment boxes&#8221;. We will supply all kinds of goodies (spices, old toys, feathers, fur etc&#8230;) for the kids to choose from and they can create custom made gifts for the wolves to enjoy!\u00a0 Crayons will also be provided so personal messages can added to the boxes as well. Once the boxes are completed, the birthday group will help throw the gifts into the wolves&#8217; enclosures. Everyone will stay up with the wolves to observe the wolf behavior, learn more about wolves and to continue having a howling good time. The group then returns to the classroom area for pizza\/cake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fee Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daytime party Tuesday through Friday: $400 fee for 15\u00a0children.<\/li>\n<li>Daytime party Saturday or Sunday: $450 fee for 15 children<\/li>\n<li>Evening party Tuesday though Thursday: $450 fee for 15 children.<\/li>\n<li>Evening Party Friday or Saturday: $550 fee for 15 children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Note:\u00a0 The WCC understands that a parent may wish to accompany their child to the party, and we do not ask for an additional fee.
