Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment
Mission: To include Alaska’s back country in a worldwide tradition of places in which hikers and skiers can travel hut to hut, and provide warm comfortable huts in inspiring settings to foster camaraderie and promote wilderness education and stewardship.
Results: In 2012 Alaska Huts renovated the Manitoba Cabin, an old mining cabin from 1936, and opened it to the public. Since then over 3,500 people have spent the night and experienced all that the Alaskan wilderness has to offer. We partner with groups such as the Alaska Avalanche School and Camp Fire to host their educational programming, as well as hosting workshops that are open to the public.
Target demographics: promote wilderness stewardship through personal experience and education
Direct beneficiaries per year: over 1,500 people get outside
Geographic areas served: the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska
Programs: huts to make the backcountry more accessible, and educational programs for youth and adults.
