Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center

I've been to Osprey on 2 separate occasions for a women's outdoor winter retreat and recommend them enthusiastically. The staff are wonderful, their mission is commendable and the food is delicious! Osprey truly cares about outdoor education and cherishing natural resources. It's reflected in having electric car charges in their parking lot, solar panels on the property, composting, gardening onsite, and using super fresh and tasty ingredients in their cooking. We felt so well taken care of each time our group was there. There's plenty of space for lodging, classrooms for learning and of course, the grounds for exploring. If you have the opportunity to come to Osprey for an event, do consider visiting. It's worth the short drive from the cities and a lovely getaway to be in nature.

Great place for events. Beautiful property, wonderful staff, and amazing programs!

With their beautiful, lake side campus and earth friendly curriculum the Audubon Center of the North Woods gets 5 stars from the Sandstone Tourism Board. Keep doing what you do, you're very good at it !!

Very kind people with excellent food! Best place I've ever been!

Osprey Wilds ELC is a great experience. I was fortunate enough to be a chaperone at my sons overnight field trip. The staff there are excellent educators and people. I learned quite a bit during my brief stay there and the children had a wonderful time. Thanks OWELC!

The ACNW is an amazing place. Committed to the environment, sustainability and education. I have enjoyed the Women's Wellness retreat, an orienteering class through a community college, Dinners on the Lake and visiting to look at the raptors and enjoy walking on the grounds. The staff are very friendly. The food is amazing...really...truly...amazing. The gift shop is fun and affordable. The animals are great. They have so much to offer. I would encourage others to check it out.

Women's Wellness Weekend is a must do! Great programming, beautiful setting, and amazing staff! The naturalists are well informed, and Laurie and Char do a wonderful job making everyone feel at home. The center is on gorgeous property and the whole place just makes you breath deep and relax. I had a wonderful weekend!

I went when I was in the 3-4 grades and it was one of the greatest experiences I've had in school. Thinking back I went for both the winter and spring and both were just absolutely fun. From Bird watching/ animal tracking to zip lining and rock climbing. Identifying poisonous plants and good ones. Starting fires for emergencies. Other fun facts and so much more fun.

The Audubon Center truly has a staff of passionate, professional, and friendly individuals who are excited to help meet your needs. Whether you want to retreat or rejuvenate your child like sense of wonder, Audubon Center of the North Woods is a perfect location for any time of year.

10/10 recommend in all seasons. This is my first summer trip, usually we do winter but it was just as fun and a great experience thanks to the staff running this place.

Simply love the Audubon. Its a wonderful place of learning, adventure, and discovery no matter how old the visitor. Couldn't recommend this beautiful place higher for the whole family or a nice day on your own.

Audubon Center of the North Woods is a wonderful place for schoolchildren to learn about nature and the outdoors. Schools can come either for the day, or stay overnight in the dormitory. Teaching is done by qualified naturalists.

I love hanging out at the Audubon Center. I look forward to classes and meetings that I have there. Everything always goes so smoothly, the birds are amazing and it is so relaxing.

Being a board member at the Audubon Center of the North Woods, I see every day the impact this environmental education center has on young people, and people of every age for that matter. If you haven't been here before, do yourself a favor and check it out, you won't regret it!

It is so inspiring to see the schoolchildren buzzing about their experiences with nature. This is a fantastic resource that should be better known.

The Dinners at the Lake are also amazing...

The nature center offers amazing classes with incredibly knowledgeable instructors. The programs help students to appreciate the marvels of nature in all seasons.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful facility and fun for the entire family! I recommend The Audobon Center highly.

Food, lodging, activities, and wildlife are wonderful. First time visiting this month!(January)

I went here in 5th grade. It was an awesome experience. Would love to come back.

Very cozy experience and beautiful and peaceful.
