DESCRIPTION
Explore the beautiful world of the sea through beach adventures and art at Fort Worden. Spend the first half of the day at the beach with the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, and then head to Northwind Art for crafts, story, and outdoor games with local youth arts educator Mikal from Wild Child Arts Education. We will make projects such as finger crochet octopi, needle felted orcas, and sewn starfishes. Every day there will be crafts, stories, and games to play as we learn more about the ocean and all its delightful creatures!

ABOUT PORT TOWNSEND MARINE SCIENCE CENTER
The Port Townsend Marine Science Center works towards its mission of inspiring conservation of the Salish Sea during summer camps with activities that engage participants in imagination and inquiry. From building animal sculptures out of sand on the beach to surveying for signs of invasive European green crabs, campers create art and make scientific connections with Carolyn, who often uses art as a science communication tool as part of her work as PTMSC’s Education Manager.
