With careful supervision and patient instruction, students will learn how to sail, navigate, and pilot the vessel. When not involved with sailing, students will be able to design and conduct their own group marine science research project, using the latest in research equipment and exploration tools. Marine scientists will be aboard to assist students in their experiments. Evenings are spent around the campfire, camping at a local marine state park. This marine science sailing adventure is the experience of a lifetime. Participants will have an adventure they'll remember fondly for years.

The Whole Horse Place's Beginning Horsemanship program is a hands on, whole horse experience focused on safety. Participants start with safely approaching and haltering the horse, and proceed through all aspects of horsemanship, from controlling the horse on the ground to balance exercises while riding. Understanding horse behavior is fundamental in handling horses and is a large component of this program. Basic horse health, such as colic, thrush, and environmental factors are also covered. Equine Science and Horses in History are covered as well.

The Whole Horse Place is a unique horse experience for the average person with little or no horse exposure. Our approach to teaching horsemanship begins and ends with safety first. Teaching you to be in control of your horse at all times is our primary concern, and from that foundation all other aspects of horsemanship will be successful.

Six children maximum, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:30am- 3:30pm. (Times can be flexible based on parents' schedules). $150 a week. Price includes a trail permit for trail riding. Approximate age guidelines: 6 years to 17 years.

Bring a LARGE sack lunch, water bottle, and dress in layers for the weather. We will be riding and hiking, so tennis shoes are encouraged. Helmets and boots are provided if you do not have your own.

You will see what owning a horse is like, from stall cleaning, grooming, feeding, ground work and riding.

Boy Scouts can earn the Horsemanship Merit Badge with our program, and we also have a limited number of Girl Scout Horse Fan and Horse Lover Badges.

Forget one night- spend a whole week at the Museum of History & Industry exploring behind the scenes, handling real artifacts, and playing historic games. This week-long, half-day camp will engage your kids in a variety of fun, hands-on activities, including the opportunity to create a real museum display!
Monday August 3rd – Friday August 7th
9am – 12:30pm
Fee: $175, 15% off for MOHAI Members

SIG at The Overlake School, WA, provides academically advanced students ages 4-12 with an exciting and challenging educational experience.

The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG. Our programs provide students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and the presence of an assistant in every class, we are able to individualize the program for each and every student.

The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well-equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals
