Why Copper Center, Alaska?
Copper Center sits at the gateway to Wrangell–St. Elias National Park – the largest national park in the United States, six times the size of Yellowstone. During your free time you can hike to glaciers, go river rafting, spot moose, bears and bald eagles, photograph the midnight sun and watch the first northern lights appear as autumn arrives.
You’ll live and work alongside international students and Americans from across the country, building friendships that stretch far beyond one summer. Weekend trips to Valdez, Anchorage and the Kennecott Mines are a rite of passage for our seasonal team.
