best summer programs on west coast?

<p>Hi! I want to go to a summer program that’s fun and educational… that I can learn alot but also have fun? I know Exeter’s got a good program, but it’s really too expensive and too far away (we live in WA, but all the way down to California is fine too)</p>

<p>So, any one got any suggestions? I really like the arts, like film making and stuff, and literature too… but I also wanted to get some experience in things like marine biology which sounds really interesting… </p>

<p>and also, are all of the “better” summer programs already past the applying date? if so, when should i start looking next year? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t know much about art/lit programs. I applied for Stanford summer school, they said it was good experience though…</p>
