Based in McCarthy, Alaska, at the heart of the nation's largest
National Park and just minutes from the toe of the Kennicott Glacier,
the private nonprofit Wrangell Mountains Center fosters appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of
Alaska's wildlands and mountain culture in Alaska through scientific and artistic inquiry in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Catering to the needs of students,
writers, artists, scientists, travelers and local citizens, we offer
opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to explore, express, and be transformed through
direct experience with this extraordinary place.
The Wrangell Mountains Center provides residential and walk-in
experiential education programs that foster discovery through
direct contact with diverse environments. We embrace an
interdisciplinary approach composed of analytical, artistic,
and scientific modes of perception. We value
wilderness both for its own sake and for the powerful direct experience
it offers us.
We are very thankful to the Rasmuson Foundation for supporting
the expansion of the workshop with a Creative Ventures grant.
Wrangell Mountains Center is managing special use of the Kennecott Recreation Hall in Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark. The Rec Hall, situated in the heart of historic Kennecott, Alaska, is available for weddings, conferences and special events. Learn more here.
