Take Your Kids Howl-in this Summer

Wolf Haven International, a sanctuary for captive-born and injured wolves in Tenino, is bringing an environmental focus to its annual summer “Howl-in” with children’s activities that are both fun and environmentally friendly.

• Eco-scavenger hunts
• Live entertainment
