Testimonials:

 “I wanted to let you know that Tim and Kevin REALLY enjoyed Salmon Science Camp and were filled with information and telling us all about the different things they learned during their week with you.  We went to the Ballard Locks last weekend and Kevin was identifying the salmon to my mom who was here from California.  There was a man next to them counting fish (that) come through and he was really impressed that Kevin, at his age, knew so much about the salmon, types and their life cycle.  Thank you for providing Tim and Kevin with such a fun learning experience and enhancing their knowledge of the Northwest.” – Parent
