Accommodations at a working fish camp

Meals: Meals are served family style around a large table that seats everyone. For those on special diets, every evening meal includes fresh local salmon and a large salad. There is also a second entree of familiar American foods for those non-fish eaters. 

Local subsistence foods are shared by local folks whenever the opportunity presents itself. Not to worry - samples of these unique treats are served to be tasted in small amounts during the "evening sharing" before dinner.

Cabins: The fish camp includes seven simple guest cabins with water jugs and with electric heat when the generator is on. There is a lounge/library cabin and a dining room/kitchen cabin with a shared shower. Toilet facilities are a turn-of-the-century model (an outhouse). Linens, blankets, and towels are provided.

Other things to know: Kotzebue is a damp community, which means you can bring your own bottle but you can't buy or sell alcohol in Kotzebue or any of the surrounding villages.
