The BLM Campbell Creek Science Center (CCSC) is an outdoor science education center that engages learners of all ages in outdoor experiences to increase appreciation, connection, and stewardship of Alaska’s public lands and natural resources.  

CCSC is located on the BLM Campbell Tract, 730 acres of public lands in Anchorage, Alaska. We have programming for everyone, so plan a visit and discover the wonder in your own backyard!
