More than your typical outdoor experience

Girls on Ice is a unique, FREE, wilderness science education program for high school girls. Each year two teams of 9 teenage girls and 3 instructors spend 11 days exploring and learning about mountain glaciers and the alpine landscape through scientific field studies with professional glaciologists, ecologists, artists, and mountaineers. One team explores Mount Baker, an ice-covered volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. The other team sleeps under the midnight sun exploring an Alaskan glacier.

2012 Girls on Ice Expeditions*

North Cascades (July 29-Aug 9): Open to all girls.

Alaska (July 15-25): Alaskan and Pacific Northwest girls.

“Girls on Ice is not a reward for past good grades or academic achievement, it is an inspiration for future academic and leadership success.”

 

*The application is the same for both programs.
Girls may state a preference for an expedition.
