WISE response to COVID-19 outbreak--All events on hold

March 16, 2020  In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, all WISE events and programs are on hold until further notice.  Our first responsibility is to the health of our staff, program participants, and community, to help slow this outbreak as early as possible.  Camp Chosen Frozen in partnership with Wrangell-St. Elias National Park has been cancelled. We will follow CDC and State of Alaska recommendations which currently include cancelling or postponing all gatherings of 50 or more for the next 8 weeks.   Updates will be posted here, and on the WISE Facebook page.  For more information, please contact the WISE office at (907) 822-3575 or email robin@wise-edu.org.
