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 non-profit Wrangell Mountains Center offers residential and walk-in programs that foster appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of Alaska's wildlands and communities. Catering to the needs of students, writers, artists, scientists, travelers and local citizens, we offer opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Please join us to learn, to explore, to express, to revere...to be transformed through direct experience with this extraordinary place
As a learning community, the Wrangell Mountains Center believes in experiential education that allows for inquiry and discovery through direct contact with diverse environments. We embrace an interdisciplinary approach that includes analytical, artistic, scientific, and spiritual modes of perception. We also value wilderness--both for its own sake and for the powerful direct experience it offers us.
