Volunteer Programs in Alaska, United States

We had an amazing first visit to Alaska with Discover Corps. I went with my two kids who are 6yo and 8 yo, and we all had such a great time and saw and learned a lot! Everything is pretty much taken care of - they pick you from the airport, all the transportation between towns and attractions, all the tickets to the sites, local guides on gorgeous hikes through estuaries and forests, guides at Sea life center, all meals except for 2 dinners, and the guide is with you the whole trip. The highlights - scenic gold star train ride, dog sledding in the summer with the Seavey family, fjord cruise, Sea life center, hike through the woods showing us which plants are edible, estuary walks, conservation center where we saw lots of animals, and the small group size. We have been on large group tours before - > 35 people, and this group only had 12 so it was nice to actually get to know everyone. The kids all played well together even though mine were the youngest and the rest were tweens and teens. This is the first of many Discover Corps tours.
