Wolf Creek Wilderness School
Gary Kent, Executive Director
Blairsville, Georgia
(404) 745-5553
Organized in 1971, Incorporated
in the state of Georgia in 1974, Wolf Creek "conducts wilderness/adventure
based programs for a wide variety of individuals, groups, schools, churches,
businesses and State and Federal agencies." Activities include low and
high ropes course, rock climbing, backpacking and canoeing; all designed
to stretch barriers, enhance trust, and build teamwork and group unity.
In 1991, Wolf Creek built upon its years of wilderness experience to
develop a program for adolescents who are about to be suspended or dismissed
from school. This new addition, called the Outpost Program, lasts 28
days, and uses wilderness experience to "develop better attitudes, achieve
success, and learn better decision making skills." The goal is to return
the student to his or her school ready to succeed.
