1.
Alaska is over twice the size of the state of Texas. It may look small on a
map and the distance between two points may not appear to be that much,
but rest assured it is--- and there may not be a road to it. Traveling within
the state is very expensive.
2.
The Northern Lights High Adventure Base does not provide support to
units that have not booked their Alaska trip through the Base. If you
would like to customize your trip, please let the Base do it for you. That’s
what we do best.
3.
The Base provides the following services for each trip; transfer to and
from the airport (Fairbanks International Airport), all ground transportation, meals, most specialized equipment, camp stoves, drivers, and Trek
Leaders. You will need to provide your own personal gear, tentage, water
filters, and eating utensils.
4.
The mission of the Northern Lights High Adventure Base is to provide a
high adventure experience to the youth in the Scouting program. While we
encourage parents to participate with their sons or daughters, the trips
need to have 51% youth.
5.
The trips start on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and end
seven days later. Travel days do not/are not counted in those days. Your
unit can extend a trip by adding an additional week. Some units use this
extra time to see Denali National Park, hike Gates of the Arctic National
Park, float the Yukon River, or tour Alaska.
6.
To secure your space for a trek, a deposit is required (amount depends on
the trek). Half of the remaining amount is due February 1st of the year
you are attending. The balance is due by May 1st.

Let our experienced trek leaders help you to explore
Alaska’s beautiful, wild and scenic waterways in a
land where the rivers change every hour.
The Northern Lights High Adventure Base offers four
different canoe trips so, whether your group is made
up of novice canoeists or you are looking for the next
adventure with class 3 rapids, we have a trip for you!
Are you looking for something that Philmont just
couldn't give you? Alaska is home of some of the
best backpacking in the world! With a unique
landscape that can also be the harshest around,
our Trek Leaders will help you explore this exotic
land and have an adventure that will compare to
none other.
If you would rather experience Alaska at
leisurely pace, come with us on a road trip
and see more of our state than most locals! Our van trips offer experiences that a
national bus tour will not provide. The opportunity to get outside and see our amazing state awaits you around every bend.
-Yukon River Trek
is a class 1 river that
requires basic canoeing
skills.
-Tangle Lakes/Delta
River Trek is a bit more of a challenge, and you can
learn basic white water rafting skills!
-Gulkana River Trek/Birch Creek is certainly worth
taking a look at if you want a faster river with Class
1, Class 2 and even a few Class 3.
If you need help deciding, please call the High Adventure Director at (907) 452-1976.
We offer three backpacking treks that vary in
level of difficulty.
-Gates of the Arctic Trip is for the most aggressive and ambitious of hikers.
-Alaska Range for groups that want a more leisurely or less stringent trip, this trek might be
more your speed.
-Wrangle St. Elias trips is similar in skill level to
the Alaska Range trip.
Many groups with a mixed age group send
the younger Scouts to camp at Lost Lake
Boy Scout Camp while the older Scouts
participate in a high adventure trek then
they join together to take a van trip.
Whatever your fancy, we can create the
ultimate road trip for your group. There is
a deep discount to camp if you combine a
trip and camp!
