Get ready for an adventure-packed summer program combining cutting-edge tech, wilderness skills, and unforgettable experiences! Dive into solar energy and remote monitoring with hands-on lessons in electrical safety and camera installation. Sharpen your wilderness skills with bear safety and boating training, setting you up for success in the great outdoors. This program continues the incredible remote bear viewing project initiated by Wrangell graduates. Over the past two years, this project has brought together local partners and the USDA Forest Service to create a remote bear viewing station at the Anan Wildlife Observatory. Participants will also explore drone technology and map-making to support salmon restoration efforts. And it’s not just projects, except fun field trips, adventure, and amazing experiences in the beautiful Tongass National Forest that will leave you with lifelong memories!
Open to any Upward Bound or T3 Alaska returning students. The entire experience is free, including room and board and travel to and from Wrangell.
