Port Townsend Marine Science Center

This year’s message is simple: It’s up to us.

When you give today, you’re showing up for our community—helping ensure that everyone has the opportunity to explore, learn, and connect with the Salish Sea.

At PTMSC summer camps, kids explore beaches, forests, and shorelines—building scientific skills, confidence, and a lifelong connection to the marine environment. Many families are now sending their second generation of campers, creating a lasting legacy of stewardship.

Thanks to supporters like you, more than 130 kids attended summer camp last year. Through scholarships, we make sure these experiences are accessible to all.

Take advantage of our challenge match and give today to double your impact.

When you give, you’re helping young people grow into the next generation of Salish Sea caretakers. From field trips to classroom visits, our programs spark curiosity and inspire action.

At PTMSC, your gift supports hands-on education programs that reach students throughout the region. Many of these students participate through scholarships or free programs. Your support ensures that cost is never a barrier to learning, discovery, and connection to the natural world. 

In a time when funding for education and environmental programs is uncertain, your support makes all the difference.

Your donation supports:

• Our involvement in the Marine Mammal Stranding Network
• Marine Science Education programs
• Informative Lectures
• Summer camps
• Community repair events
• Citizen science and research

Every day, PTMSC creates opportunities for people to explore, learn, and take action.

When you give today, you’re showing up for your community, your environment, and future generations.

Thank you for showing up.
