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 communities through environmental education, research, and the arts 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 inquiry and discovery through direct contact with diverse environments. We embrace an interdisciplinary approach composed of analytical, artistic, scientific, and spiritual modes of perception. We value wilderness both for its own sake and for the powerful direct experience it offers us.
