National Outdoor Leadership School - Nols - Index

Expand your definition of wilderness while exploring the awe-inspiring tundra, mountains and waters of Alaska.
NOLS first came to this incredible country in 1971. Since
then we have established a state-of-the-art headquarters in the historic
Matanuska Valley outside Palmer. From here (or one of our
operations bases in Fairbanks or Petersburg) we'll outfit you with
everything you need for an expedition into the wild. Our headquarters
is built to make your course a success, and our staff is
handpicked to make your experience a great one.
No other organization offers the breadth of opportunities
in Alaska that NOLS does. From the Arctic Circle to North America's
highest peak, Denali, to the Southeast Alaska archipelago,
NOLS is there. Backpacking, sea kayaking, or mountaineering:
No matter how you choose to explore Alaska on your NOLS
course, you'll learn all you need to know about living and traveling
in this vast wilderness.
