Beyond the double chained locked gates, the observation area lies in the center of four compounds where wildlife photographer Dan Bacon or his partner, Jim Stein, will answer questions, talk about the social structure of wolf packs, their eating habits, their interaction with man, and many other interesting facts. Unlike a zoo, visitors must often sit and wait for the wolves to come out of the woods, which they do most readily at feeding time. Serious photographers can take guided photography or video sessions around each individual wolf compound. The fee for those coming just to see the wolves includes day use of all Camp Taylor facilities including lake swimming, picnicking, mini-golf, miles of nature trails, and evening programs. One of the favorite annual events at Triplebrook is an evening of story telling called the Teddy Bear Tea .
People bring their teddy bears so that can hear the stories too.
People sit down by the lake under the big willow trees. You wouldn't believe how many grown-ups bring their old teddy bears. They come back year after year. The bears and their friends finish out the evening on a hayride. July 15 is the eighth annual Bovine Day at Triplebrook.
