Most courses are based out of the Murie Science and Learning Center
Field Camp, located 30 miles inside Denali National Park along the
Teklanika River. From this location participants set out daily to
explore Denali's diverse environments. The Field Camp includes rustic
tent cabins and a common dining tent. All meals, accommodations,
transportation, and instruction are included in the course fee, which
averages around $320 per course.
