Early summer is a fantastic beauty full of hope and spring blossoms.  Mid-Summer has great intensity with the midnight sun.  Late summer to fall brings salmon, the changing of the leaves, and Aurora Borealis.

We have availability from mid-May through September.

Chulitna Lodge will require that all participants attending as a Fellow or Resident for whatever amount of time present proof of vaccination and the booster before arriving at our location next summer in order to keep all guests, staff, and artists here as safe as possible.

We look forward to your application.
