On Assignment Projects
Choose one of these On Assignment projects, and break into teams to delve further into your area of focus.
Photography
Take advantage of long summer days to capture glaciers, fjords, and the immense snowfields of Denali. Zoom in on a bull moose or a herd of caribou sky-lined on a high tundra ridge, or try for a rare shot of a breaching whale or a bear fishing for salmon. Learn new photographic techniques, and develop a portfolio.
Wildlife & Conservation
Observe bears, caribou, wolves, beluga whales, and other wildlife in their natural habitat; and learn to identify the plants and birds of the tundra and taiga. Talk to park rangers and conservationists about challenges and opportunities in Alaska’s national parks.
Filmmaking
Work in teams to document your travels through Alaska. Develop a story line about conservation efforts around the borders of Denali National Park, or interview park rangers and locals about the effects of climate change in Alaska. Capture the grand landscapes and spectacular wildlife of Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks as you hone your filmmaking skills.
