Our Mission

At Great Wolf Lodge, we aren’t defined by our passion for fun and commitment to families alone. Beyond our water parks, characters, and development of unique activities designed to bring families closer together, we are the heartbeat behind a higher purpose. We’re an ever-growing group of dreamers who never grew up. We are dedicated to creating leaders in the industry who serve that higher purpose of bringing joy to families. And we’ll do it faster than anyone else. We are a mosaic of personalities, support, and friendly faces across 19 different lodges all driven by one great goal — great because when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. So, let’s have some fun.

A Note From Our CEO

Working at Great Wolf is the art of thinking and playing big; our managers have to work cross-function, cross-region, cross-company. And we have to be about big purposes. I like to remind people, if you fail here, well, what will happen? You'll leave and get a bigger job somewhere else. But if you win here, what's behind door number two? You get to be in the front seat of Great Wolf’s history, creating the future.

Murray Hennessey, CEO
