Why Alaska? Why Denali?
Denali National Park is home to North America’s highest peak and over six million acres of untouched wilderness. On your days off you can go hiking, whitewater rafting, ziplining, ATV riding, flightseeing over the glaciers or simply watch the endless Alaskan summer daylight. Grizzly bears, caribou, eagles and Dall sheep are your neighbours – and by late August you may even catch your first glimpse of the Northern Lights.
The lodge is a lively hub where students from all over the world live, work and explore together. The friendships you build here often last long after the season ends.
