Salish Scientists is a week-long, hands-on, outdoor day camp located at the Sound Salmon Solutions hatchery in Edmonds. Campers get to explore a wetland, investigate water quality, and learn to be a steward to their environment, all while meeting new friends and growing their independence.

Salish Scientists empowers students with the knowledge to make waves within their communities and has students diving into the realm of scientific inquiry and using professional tools to complete their own research of freshwater, marsh, and coastal ecosystems.

The program integrates a place-based, interdisciplinary approach to learning that builds upon ecological concepts and related experiences. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges our region faces. Our vision is to work with the youth in the area to create viable interworking communities of empowerment and stewardship for the surrounding world.
