All visitors to Brooks Camp are required to attend the 20-minute Brooks Camp bear safety orientation provided at the Visitor Center. A variety of interpretive programs are available at Brooks Camp throughout the summer. Evening programs are presented nightly by park staff in the park auditorium. Each afternoon, a ranger-led cultural history walk takes visitors to a partially reconstructed native dwelling from the Visitor Center. Each day rangers also join Brooks Lodge staff to offer a guided bus tour to the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. Reservations for the bus tour must be made in advance at Brooks Lodge. Other special ranger guided hikes and activities may occur on an intermittent basis throughout the season. Check at the Brooks Camp Visitor Center for the current schedule. Books, cards, posters, and videos are just some of the items available at the Alaska Geographic Association Bookstore. Backcountry planners and bear resistant food canisters (no charge) are also available for those exploring Katmai's trackless backcountry.
