Fortress Of The Bear an educational bear rescue center located in Sitka, Alaska. We bring orphaned bears from all over the state of Alaska and find homes for them in zoos and sanctuaries internationally.  We currently have 8 resident orphaned bears in 3 separate enclosures.  These enclosures mimic the natural settings that they would normally be found.  Visitors view from above in a covered area and have the opportunity to observe and photographic their continuous antics.

Welcome to the Fortress of the Bear webstore!

Most of our designs are created and produced right here in Sitka by our own staff. As often as possible, we incorporate our own bears into our designs.

As a non-profit 501(c) 3, we truly appreciate your support. All proceeds are used to help care for our bears and improve our facilities.

*We try to pack orders as efficiently as possible, and we’re pretty good at it, so partial refunds will be issued according to final shipping costs! For international orders, email orders@fortressofthebear.org for a shipping quote.

June 2025 Community BEAR HUG Program

from $2.00

We love our Community Bear Hug program, in which we donate 10% of proceeds from certain items sold to a fellow non-profit organization in our local community every month!

This program will run during our 5 month open season (May - Sept), and will feature a different local non-profit organization each month.

Check the display case upstairs in our visitor center, or our online store, to find out which local non-profit we’re supporting for the month, and which products contribute towards their donation!

Thought out June, we'll be supporting... Sitka Pride!

Sitka Pride aims to build equity and respect for LGBTQ2+ individuals in Sitka, through accessible and inclusive programming that unifies, celebrates, and increases the visibility of our community. Sitka Pride holds monthly Pride Potlucks, and many events during Pride month in June including a Variety Show, LGBTQ2+ hikes, and a Pride March. By providing safe spaces for LGBTQ2+ folks, Sitka Pride helps make Sitka a welcoming community for all.
