Now you can add a sleepover with wolves to your wish list - just an hour and twenty minutes from New York, you can camp next to a pack of wolves. Edition Secret nyc told about this new interesting form of leisure.
The Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) provides guests with the opportunity to camp outdoors with over 30 wolves that make the WCC their home.
The wolves are actually separated from the guests. You won't have direct physical contact with them, but you will be able to see them all.
