Field Seminars
Explore Alaska’s Vast Ecosystems and Vibrant Cultures

List of 2008 Field Seminars

Explore Alaska’s parks, forests, and refuges with expert instructors all day, and immerse yourself in the solitude of Alaska’s wilderness at night. Our small-group courses are led by Alaska’s best wildlife biologists, wildflower experts, published authors, and renowned artists. We take care of your meals, transportation, and lodging, so you’re free to focus on Alaska’s forests, mountains, and tundra.

Every landscape and topic is unique, so each course is custom-designed. Some are based out of a field camp with rustic tent cabins, while others use charter boats, tents, or hotels for accommodations. Meals, lodging, equipment, and transportation are provided, unless otherwise stated. Most meals are served family-style, and are simple, hearty, and healthy.

Hiking Distances and Physical Fitness

Participants must be capable walkers, in good health, and equipped for sudden changes in weather. Hiking distance and physical fitness levels are described in greater detail for each course, but generally fall into two levels of difficulty:

	up to four miles and/or 1,000 foot elevation gain per day, over uneven terrain
	greater than four miles and/or 1,000 foot elevation gain per day, frequently over rough and steep terrain
	includes boating activities
	indicates a course specifically designed for teachers
