  • Girls on Ice in Washington and Alaska

    • 16 Jun 2017
    • 27 Jun 2017
    • Cascade Mts., Resurrection Bay, Southeast Alaska

    Inspiring Girls Expeditions are not rewards for past academic achievement; they inspire future leadership, curiosity, confidence, and success.

    Join our team! Each year we select expedition teams of 8-9 teenage girls and 3 instructors to spend 12 days exploring and learning about glaciers and the alpine or marine environment. Through scientific field studies with professional glaciologists, ecologists, artists, and mountaineers, you will build critical thinking skills, gain self-confidence, and make lasting friendships. One team explores Mount Baker, an ice-covered volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. Another team sleeps under the midnight sun while exploring an Alaskan glacier. Our third team explores the connections between glacier and ocean by kayak in Resurrection Bay, near Seward, AK.

  • Fostering Science: Hot Times--Fire in the Forest!

    • 24 Jun 2017
    • 01 Jul 2017
    • UAF and Bonanza Creek Ecological Research Site

    Welcome to our 2017 Summer Camp: Hot Times - Fire in the Forest!

    Monday, June 26 - Friday, June 30


    Are you going into a grade from 7th through 10th? Are you in foster or temporary care? You are invited!


    Come spend a week outside exploring nature, being creative, hiking, making art, making friends, experimenting, and working with scientists in a real experimental forest. Wildfire is a fact of life in interior Alaska, and its aftermath has fascinating impacts on the forest's plants, soil, animals, and water. Come explore the regrowing forest at our camp in the Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research Site and discover the surprises it has for us. Campers will leave with a deepened understanding and appreciation for fire in the forest, experience with professional science tools and methods, and potential continuing projects to develop science and leadership skills after the camp is over.
