Why Alaska? Why This Lodge?
The Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge sits on a bluff overlooking the Copper and Klutina Rivers, right at the gateway to Wrangell–St. Elias National Park – the largest national park in the United States. Your days off can include glacier hikes, river rafting, wildlife spotting (moose, bears, bald eagles), fishing for salmon, and chasing the midnight sun. By the end of the season, you may even catch your first northern lights.
This is real Alaska: remote, raw and unforgettable. You will live and work alongside an international team of students from around the world, building friendships that last far longer than one summer.
