When summer arrives, the snow boots give way to sandals, tennis shoes and bare feet. Children explore tide pools along the shoreline, fish from the docks, chase each other through sunlit parks, kayak and paddleboard on the slough and enjoy endless bike riding through town. Long evenings stretch like golden ribbons, filled with the smell of grilled seafood, berry picking, and the hum of community celebrations. Every day feels wide open, a chance to discover the beauty of the natural world that surrounds them.
Growing up in Seldovia means experiencing two very different worlds. It’s a childhood where the seasons aren’t just a backdrop, but a playground, a classroom, and a canvas for memories that last a lifetime.
