Fins & Scales Camp

Registration for summer 2025 will open in spring 2025.

Open to Alaska residents only.

This camp is all about FISH – learning about fish, catching fish, dissecting fish, making fish art, preparing fish, eating fish, you name it! Campers will spend four days and three nights at the Peterson Bay Field Station investigating ocean food webs and exploring some of the special fish that call Kachemak Bay home. Weather permitting, campers will have a chance to kayak and potentially dipnet at China Poot Creek. No prior fishing experience necessary!

Ages: 10-12

Coastal Studies offers full and half scholarships for youth to participate in our camps. Apply now!
