Join
Oakton Community College on a family study/tour to Alaska. Weekly
departures in 2005 are scheduled from May through September.
Spend
a week cruising along the Inside Passage of Alaska while the captain
provides classes and lectures that appeal to both children and adults.
Search for sea otters and humpback whales, or find yourself face-to-face
with salmon-seeking bears. View magnificent landscapes, including
the Misty Fjords, Lynn Canal, and Glacier Bay.
Throughout
the journey, the ship will stop at various ports to provide added
educational experiences. Visits include the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush
town of Skagway, St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Sitka,
and Haines, site of Alaska's oldest army fort. Spend a day at Glacier
Bay National Park, as an experienced ranger navigates the icy rivers.
