Before you Apply
Our sessions are designed to bring together a mix of people, experiences, and perspectives from across Alaska. Your application helps us understand your goals, your leadership context, and whether a particular session is the right fit. It also helps us ensure we are reaching a broad cross‑section of communities and planning for your safety, comfort, and full participation at camp. All information is reviewed with care and kept confidential within our team.
Before applying, please take a moment to review our cancellation policy so you know what to expect.
Camp Payment & Cancellation Policy
Camp Payment
Community Session Participants receive one invoice after their application is reviewed. Payment is due within 30 days or before the session begins, whichever comes first.

Weather‑Out Policy
Because access to camp depends entirely on safe flying conditions, all sessions are subject to weather‑related cancellation. Our priority will always be to fly to camp; however, if flying is not possible, the session will be canceled and all participant fees will be fully refunded.
NLI will not organize an alternative gathering, but participants and the facilitator are welcome to meet informally in Anchorage if they wish to use the scheduled time together. Any such gathering would be optional and self‑organized.
