GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FEMALES ONLY!

 Girls on Ice (http://girlsonice.org) is a unique, FREE, wilderness science
education program for high school girls. Each year a team of 9 teenage girls
and 3 instructors spend 11 days exploring and learning about mountain
glaciers and alpine landscapes through scientific field studies with
professional glaciologists and mountaineers.

 This year we are again offering 2 expeditions!

 Girls on Ice NORTH CASCADES is the original expedition in Washington State.
 Open to all girls age 15-18 (yes, international girls can apply!)
 July 28th - August 8th

 Girls on Ice ALASKA is geared toward Alaskan and Pacific Northwest girls
(age 15-18).
 June 20th - July 1st

 http://girlsonice.org/apply - applications are due January 31, 2014


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

 We are able to provide this program TUITION FREE to the girls through small
grants, gifts from individuals, and generous support from the National
Science Foundation, the Alaska Climate Science Center, and the University of
Alaska Fairbanks.

confidence building experience for girls in the future, visit:
