The Wrangell Mountains Center in McCarthy, Alaska announces its summer
schedule of arts, science, and environmental education programs that
foster appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of Alaska's
wildlands and communities. The center offers experiential education
opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, and embraces an
interdisciplinary approach that includes analytical, artistic, and
spiritual modes of perception.
Programs range from a multi-week field course to hour-long evening
presentations and are taught by resident experts, National Park Service
naturalists, scientists, and college professors. Most multi-day courses
are 3-5 days in length, for which participants may earn university
credits, and include exploration of glacial environments and the
historic mining town of Kennecott in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
and Preserve. Costs vary depending on the length of the course, with
some shorter presentations requesting a donation only. Full and partial
scholarships are available for most programs. Instruction, meals, and
camping are included in course fees. Participants may choose alternative
lodging.
