The program states that it keeps participant information absolutely private and will never share it, and it offers multiple payment options including credit card by phone, PayPal, Zelle, and a mail-in registration option. Its refund policy converts cancellations to credit good through the following calendar year, with specific exceptions for emergencies and participant removal.
The Blue Skye Farm Natural Science Education Internship is certified by the Washington State Farm Internship Program. The program states that it strives to achieve gender balance in employment and enrollment, stands with Black, Brown and Asian citizens and immigrants, and expresses gratitude to be on the land and waters of the Puyallup, Nisqually, Muckleshoot and Snoqualmie people. It notes that Chris was inspired to start Wolf Camp while living and learning on the land and waters of the Chippewa (Anishanabe) Nation, got his start among the Lummi, Nooksack, Skagit and Salish, spent several years on land and waters of Tulalip area tribes along the Snohomish and Skykomish rivers, and currently lives and operates Wolf Camp with Kim in the territories of the Puyallup, Nisqually, Duwamish and Snoqualmie people.
