Be sure to ask each Alaska Wilderness Camp about the amount of wilderness instruction and the overall intensity of their wilderness program.
Some Top Alaska Wilderness Camps offer rigorous daily wilderness training and lots of intensive wilderness experience. Other great Alaska Camps offer wilderness and nature studies as an elective or recreational activity with much less training and intensity.
