Mountain Arts And science for youth (MASY)

Dates: June 9, June 16, June 23, July 21, July 28, August 4th

We are so excited to be bringing back our Mountain Arts and Science for Youth (MASY) program this summer! Held over six Tuesdays, McCarthy kids are invited to the WMC for engaging, hands-on workshops that foster creativity and connection to the natural world and our local culture. Come learn about aquatic ecology with Robin Mayo, or try finger braiding with Mark Vail.

Recommended for ages 6-12, but open to all, youth under 5 should attend with a caretaker.

All MASY programs will take place on Tuesdays from 1-3 PM. Meet at the Old Hardware Store, unless otherwise noted.

Cost: $10 per session, or $50 when you register your child in advance for all six sessions (save $10).

Sign up online or in person at WMC (walk-ins welcome).

Some of the Copper River Valley’s sharpest (and silliest) youth (ages 12 and up) come together to learn from geology experts and observe and learn first-hand from the dynamic landscape.

This year the group will be going up to Bonanza Mine, learning about the geology of the area and the remediation project. It’s sure to be four days packed with learning and fun.

Contact audrey@wrangells.org if you are interested in signing up your child. Space is limited! Cost:
