SOUTH SALEM, NY — You're not part of the pack so the wolves won't be inviting you to bed-down in the den for the night. Overnight visitors will have more appropriate accommodations, but with the howls and other nighttime sounds of nature, you might just feel like you're camping under the stars with wild wolves.

The Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) announced that registration is now open for "Sleeping With Wolves," the center's popular wild campout adventure. Guests will have the chance to camp out overnight at the WCC among the 30+ wolves that live there.

Sleepovers will take place from May 2023 - October 2023, with Friday events starting at 6 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday events starting at 5 p.m. Sleepovers will be over at 8 a.m.
