Coming
soon! The opportunity to walk with, and take photos of
the wolves on the land within our pristine forest setting, will be an amazing opportunity for amateur and professional photographers
alike.
Currently
the opportunity exists to meet and greet, and take photos of the wolf residents within their large day to day secure habitats.
This includes walking with them within their enclosures, or for a special arranged hike with a wolf on a controlled lead outside
of the habitat. Due to liability/licensing restrictions, the wolves are not allowed off lead while
out of regular confinement. Thus our plans are to build the largest wolf habitat in all of canada. *stay tuned!*

Forward Note:
WolfEcho Valleys A Wolf Adventure, wishes to make your visit and
experience with us one you'll never forget. We hope to impress upon the public memories to last a lifetime. And award
opportunities just not found in a typical wildlife facility.
Any required donations for any booked appt's are used strictly for the wolves, their upkeep (vet and feed
bills) the enrichment and habitat fund. You can be assured you are helping to support a worthy cause and see in person
where any donations go.
Each tour involves meeting the wolf ambassadors, seeing and touching some educational props at the Wolf Pawz
Ecological Gift/Educational Center (Gift/eco center on hold till complete for fall 2008)
while listening
to an indepth educational talk. I strive to make any visit intimate and personal for each person, and take great pride
and passion in my work enough to share that world.
All bookings are privately made, doors are not just open to the public to come
and go at will. The gift shop and eco center will encompass many exciting gift ideas and more for all age groups and outdoor
naturalists
PLEASE
NOTE! A Wolf Adventure is not open to the public the way a typical zoo is. This
policy was implemented to cut down on people simply wanting to gawk at a wolf (people can go to zoos for that) and not
have pure intent in truly learning and being open to learn, about a highly misunderstood animal, and
meeting them in a way just not possible at typical zoos. Time is precious in my life and considered
a gift. I simply don't have the time to gift other beings, whom do not have an appreciation, even a base appreciation
for all life, and the environment. To me these things are sacred gifts. This does not mean you have to be crazy about
wolves, but for those whom are ill intentioned, such mentalities will be weeded out more easily.
Some special org's like make a wish foundation, all donation fees are waived completely.
If you are a Teacher, please visit
Visiting Fees
Fees are based on either
family/group/couple/single person visit, at the time of booking this must be clarified, people wise. Young
children will not be allowed within any wolf habitats. Due to not making a living off of what I do, (this is not
a buisness like some wolf places or zoos may be, and operate) and working for a living to support this venture, fees are a
little higher, than simply going to a zoo. However, the experience will be one to remember forever. The visit is
not cookie cutter, and will be unique to each person.
cheaper disposable
cameras willonly be allowed to be taken into the enclosures, no professional cameras allowed unless a photography session,
and fee is booked, and paid for. (The owner of A Wolf Adventure however can take photos of the interaction
to remember their time and experience, and can send them to the person via e-mail.)
We do not charge admission
fees! If you simply wish to meet the wolves from more of a distance (non-interactive) it will
take longer to schedule an appt. due to the owner being extremely busy working to support the eco center.(UNLESS you
are a youth group/home school group/public school group then I will make that time more readily available)
Fees based on interactive visits
Single ...25.00 (One visit/one person) IF the person would like to be able to interact
with any of the ambassador wolves. (There is no set time limit for this pricing and visit, the owner director shares
the animals world, and her own. You cannot time with a clock honorable experiences, they end when they end)
Couple... is $40.00
(1 visit/two people) includes the same as above
Groups of 3-5... is $20.00 per person (more than 5 people pricing goes down to $15.00
a person)
Children
12 and younger ...free
Youth
13-17 ... $8.00
If you suffer from
ringworm outbreaks however this MUST be disclosed (is also on the waiver form you sign) prior to the visit and NO interaction
with any of the wolves will be allowed, we apologize for this but ringworm is zoonosis and is transferable from human to animal,
animal to human.
Please contact us
for other pricing pertaining to your needs.

Photographers Professional & Novice!
Donation rates are based on time booked. Each photographer enters any of the enclosures
at his/her own risk, and will be asked to sign a waiver/safety regulations form prior to entering any of the enclosures
with myself (owner/founder).
Please
keep in mind such an opportunity will be based
on the feelings of the chosen animal(s) for that day, and whether
the chosen animal(s) take to the person visiting.
Wolves
have their own minds, and though most people are well received by them, for those not well received ...I will as a professional
be able to tell immediately. And the animals feelings respected.
My
first and foremost priority is for the safety and well being of both wolf and human at all times. A tower/observation
building is in the near future plans to be constructed, so that anyone can take professional photos without direct interaction
with the wolves, if so chosen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any
published material of the wolves (prints, calendar pics, posters etc) STILL requires the following credit
"Photographed
at A Wolf Adventure, A Wild Insight Saskatchewan, Canada."

Picture Taking
Please Note! ANY photos taken of the wolves is a courtesy gifted to visitors, but are not granted legal
permission to distribute or use these photos in any other way other than for private use.
Such photos are not granted ANY commerical or professional usage, unless a professional fee
is paid.
Photo's are only allowed to be taken of the animals using a cheaper or disposable camera, (even if outside
of the wolf habitat) unless a professional photo fee is paid and session booked, which would encompass unobstructed shots
of the wolves, using more professional cameras.
Please keep in mind the wolves have jobs too, and are ambassadors for their wildborn counterparts,
they are giving of *their* time as well
ATTENTION!
- Please dont wear sandals
if in the summer (hikers (boots) or shoes recommended
- Please don't wear your best
clothes (wear rugged clothing you don't mind possibly getting dirty)
- Wear appropriate clothing
for the weather, meaning if in the fall or winter wearing warm enough clothing (hats, toques, mitts ) and foot wear for the
elements.
- All tours are subject to
being cancelled and rescheduled due to bad weather conditions.
Regulations
The wolves
are under my control at all times, and are safely contained, young children will not be allowed inside the wolf enclosure. However
waivers and permission slips must be signed by parents of any children that come out here prior to any visit. For individuals
or families visiting as a member a liability waiver will be asked to be signed upon arrival to the ranch.
IMPORTANT!
Teasing the animals will NOT be tolerated and is just cause for removal
from the premises. This includes, but is not limited to wildly running about, growling,
throwing objects, hissing etc.) The wolves here have shown no aggressive tendencies towards
young people or children, but all it takes is one bad incidence such as the above for wolves to think ALL children are aggressive
creatures to be feared and hated. You would not be happy if someone came along in the middle of the night into your yard and
started pounding on YOUR window would you?
PLEASE READ! A Wolf Adventure although licensed
through the Province, it is NOT a city owned Zoo; it is based on *private* property and thus retains the right
to refuse entry to any party/person.
