Coastal Connections Camp- Whittier
4 Day Camp • Ages 11 to 14
About
Discover. Move. Learn. Play.
Explore our local coastal ecosystem through a variety of adventure outings, science and art activities, and personal connections. Throughout the week, we will build community and broaden our understanding of the surrounding environment. Youth participants will have the opportunity to learn and play outside along with some focused time to connect to the places we visit through hands-on activities. We will explore the coast and experience the lands and waters of the Kenai Mountains – Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area while working on team building, leadership, and resilience.

This discount is applied during the registration process. Please reach out to KMTA to set up a payment plan or inquire about additional assistance.
