Our Events & Excursions
At Wolves Den, we believe recovery and growth happen not only within our walls, but also out in the world. Our events and excursions are designed to build connection, strengthen resilience, and rediscover joy through shared experiences.
From nature hikes along the rugged coastlines of Vancouver Island, to team-building activities, wellness workshops, and community gatherings, every outing is an opportunity to bond, learn, and grow together. We embrace the healing power of nature, the strength of community, and the importance of creating memories that remind us life in recovery is full of possibility.
Whether it’s a quiet walk through the forest, a group adventure on the water, or a special seasonal celebration, our events and excursions foster belonging, balance, and new ways of living fully.
Shinrin-yoku (Forest Therapy)
Experience the healing power of nature through mindful walks in the forest. Also known as “forest bathing,” this practice helps reduce stress, improve mood, and restore balance by engaging all the senses in the calming embrace of the outdoors.
Horseback Riding
Reconnect with nature and yourself through guided horseback excursions along scenic trails. Riding helps build confidence, focus, and calm while offering a unique way to experience the beauty of Vancouver Island’s landscapes in recovery.
Whale watching
At Wolves Den, our whale watching excursions are more than sightseeing they’re moments of healing. Surrounded by the vastness of the Pacific and the presence of these gentle giants, guests are invited to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.
Salmon Fishing
At Wolves Den, salmon fishing is less about the catch and more about the connection. Standing in the cold, clear waters of British Columbia, guests learn patience, presence, and appreciation for nature’s rhythm. The flow of the river mirrors the flow of recovery steady, strong, and full of life. Each cast becomes a meditation, each moment on the water a reminder that healing often happens in silence and simplicity.
Hiking
Our guided hikes through the forests and coastal trails of Vancouver Island are designed to restore both body and mind. Surrounded by the scent of cedar and the sound of rushing streams, guests rediscover calm, clarity, and connection. Each step grounds you deeper into the present moment a reminder that healing, like hiking, happens one step at a time.
Camping
Camping is a return to simplicity a chance to unplug, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with what truly matters. Around the fire, surrounded by forest and ocean air, guests rediscover stillness and community. The crackle of the flames, the laughter, and the quiet of the night sky all serve as gentle reminders that peace doesn’t need to be found it can be felt.
Downhill skiing
At Wolves Den, downhill skiing is more than an adrenaline rush it’s a lesson in presence. As you carve through fresh snow and feel the mountain’s rhythm beneath you, the mind quiets and the body takes over. Every run becomes a moving meditation, a reminder to trust balance, surrender control, and let life flow. In the stillness of the peaks and the power of the descent, guests reconnect with courage, clarity, and calm.
Snowshoeing at Wolves Den offers a peaceful journey through untouched winter landscapes. With every step across fresh powder, guests find grounding in the quiet a calm rhythm that mirrors the process of recovery. Surrounded by snow-covered trees and crisp mountain air, the world slows down, inviting reflection, presence, and gratitude.
