In the frosty nose-tickling state of Alaska, also known as AK, there exists a jolly band of giggly, adventurous children who delight in the greatest outdoor activity known to mankind— hiking! Imagine a world where towering snow-capped mountains wink at you under the baby blue sky, where glistening, icy rivers giggle as they leap over stones and where enchanted forests whisper secrets through the swaying spruce trees. That's Alaska for you! Leading this merry troupe of little hikers is none other than Captain Fluffy Snowbeard, a friendly yeti with icicle-encrusted beard and twinkling blue eyes. Despite his fearsome name, he is as soft as marshmallows and as warm as hot cocoa. Captain Snowbeard knows every nook and cranny of Alaska, from the tip of its highest peak, Mount Denali, to the deepest cavern in the frost-kissed glaciers. Every morning, Captain Snowbeard and his gang of giggly children begin their hiking adventure. They march, skip, hop, and even tumble down the trails, their laughter echoing through the valleys. They race with playful snow hares, play hide-and-seek with cheeky Arctic foxes, and have snowball fights with penguins who aren't great at throwing but are terrific at sliding. Although the Alaskan terrain is tough and wild, these little hikers, wrapped in their rainbow-colored parkas and woolly mittens, fear no cold. They are as brave as the mighty grizzly bears and as agile as the swift salmon. Their spirits light up the Alaskan wilderness, showing everyone that no mountain is too high, and no trail is too icy when you have fun-loving friends, a heart full of adventure, and a yeti guide with a fluffy snow beard!

At our program, we’ve designed a unique curriculum that incorporates both environmental science and outdoor skills. Our curriculum is tailored to the developmental needs of children of various ages, and is also based on the time of year and the location. For instance, when our Wolf Pups, our youngest group, are learning about photosynthesis and food planning for trips, we might have them look at leaves with microscopes, tell stories about energy, and talk about food prep. As our participants get older, our lessons become more difficult and varied, incorporating a leadership component. We provide our teens with the knowledge and then give them the opportunity to teach their peers what they’ve learned. This is a great way for them to build confidence and gain valuable teaching skills. We believe that our program is a great way for children and teens to explore their interests in environmental science and outdoor skills all while having fun. Our carefully crafted curriculum engages participants in a meaningful way, so that they walk away with a deeper understanding of the topics.
