Athletics & Activities

Wadena-Deer Creek School has a long tradition of successful activities program for its students. Participation in extracurricular programs has been proven to be an indicator of success later in life.

The variety of activities we offer help provide opportunities for our students to learn important life skills including teamwork, self-discipline, dedication and time-management. We are PROUD WOLVERINES!

Wadena-Deer Creek, home of the “Wolverines,” is a place where students can explore their interests and abilities and find their niche. WDC offers 26 Minnesota State High School League sponsored Athletic, Fine Art, and Dramatic Activities. These include unique opportunities in our area such as Boys and Girls Nordic Skiing, Boys and Girls Hockey, Robotics, and Clay Target Shooting. In addition, students can be involved in Student Council, FFA, Business Professionals of America (BPA), Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Knowledge Bowl and even Fishing League. There is truly something for every student to be involved in!

Our goal as a department is to provide meaningful experiences and help our students to develop positive character, sportsmanship, and leadership abilities. As Activities Director, I am very proud of and confident in the coaches, advisors, and directors that our children have the opportunity with which to work. These professionals work very hard to develop the whole child, form positive relationships and serve as good role models for the students in their charge.

Wadena-Deer Creek is a part of the Park Region Conference in most of our activities. Other members include Henning, New York Mills, Sebeka, Menahga, Bertha-Hewitt, Verndale, and Pillager. Success in both Fine Arts and Athletics has become the norm at WDC and we are very proud of the accomplishments of our teams, student-athletes, and student-artists. Most importantly, student athletes and artists have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence in the classroom as evidenced by numerous awards at the Section and State Level for our extracurricular programs. 

I’d like to encourage all our students to find their passion at WDC and become involved in our programs. Become a proud Wolverine and experience all the things that make us unique and provide you with the memories and skills that will last a lifetime! Wadena-Deer Creek is truly a great place to learn, grow, and succeed!

Wolverine Country! Let’s Ride!
