Wolf Creek Education Center is located on National Park land adjacent to the southern end of Prairie Creek State Park. The center has hot water showers, restrooms with flush toilets, fire pits, an education center with a large kitchen, and several shared cabins with padded bunks (or you can set up your own tent).

For your comfort, we recommend wearing comfortable outdoor attire with options for layers. Bring hiking shoes (and lots of socks) so you can fully enjoy every aspect of your trip.

Sleeping accommodations are in group cabins or you can bring your tent. Each participant will need a sleeping bag and other camping essentials. A complete checklist of all items needed will be provided in advance of the trip. We will work with you to make sure we have everything for a great outdoor experience.

Each participant is responsible to provide food for their breakfast. Refrigerators are available to store cold food. Coffee, Tea and condiments are included.

Sack or boxed lunches will be provided daily.

Vegetarian and vegan options will be provided by request. When you sign up for the trip you will be sent a brief questionnaire to help us accommodate food allergies, sensitivities and aversions.

Social hour and receptions are planned featuring the best of local humboldt county products.

The weather can be a fickle thing on the north coast. It can be sunny and warm, sunny and windy, overcast, overcast and windy, foggy, rainy, and downright blustery all in one day!
Average temperatures in August range from 60-75 degrees.

Plan to wear layers so you can adjust according to the current weather.

Once you have registered for camp and paid your fees, you will need to fill out a release of liability form.

Happy Camper fee for OLLI at Humboldt members is $480. OLLI at Cal Poly members are getting first priority and early-bird pricing. This is one of the ways we can show our gratitude for what our members do for OLLI at Humboldt.

Happy Camper fee for other OLLI members is $515. We are opening up this program to members of other OLLI programs across the nation, but not to non-OLLI members. We want to know the locations of other current OLLI members, too.

It’s still a great deal! If we don’t fill up this year, we may open it up to the general public next year.

For the Happy Camper we can offer a limited number of partial scholarships (50%). A limited number of Day Tripper scholarships may also be available as space allows. See the OLLI scholarship page for how to apply. If you have questions, contact the OLLI staffat 707-826-5880 or olli@humboldt.edu
