Lone Wolf Colony Health Ranch and RV resort is a non profit 501c3 that helps our local community. The cabins were rent-free to the employees and included meals.

Sam Coldwell (Indian name, Lone Wolf) came to the Victor Valley in 1922, looking to establish a retreat for World War One vets recovering from mustard gas. He lived in Victorville in a one-room cabin and worked for Home Telephone. In 1926, with 250 volunteers from Pacific Bell, the colony was developed in its present location. The living quarters consisted of six tent houses, moved in one day from the original location in Dry River Flats. A 6,000 square foot ranch house and 10 one-room cabins were also built. Food was grown on the colony’s 20 acres. Fundraisers such as boxing matches supported the colony. Sam died in 1934 of tuberculosis and the colony was sold to Pacific Bell for $1.00. Pacific Bell sold the colony to their employees in 1967 for $1.00. United Way funded the colony from 1967 to 1983. The Cottages are used today as a retreat. We have many fundraising events such as our fall festival and Easter festival. All proceeds go to the scholarship programs and other ways of helping our community. Currently many contributions come from local people including RVers, volunteers, employees, as well as telephone employees and families. Additional income comes from rental of the hall and grounds for RV camping, weddings, company picnics and more.
