11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Wednesday April 3, 2024
Nature Printing Party!
Join us for nature printing! Make a print with seaweed, ferns, or a (fake) salmon. All supplies provided.
We’ll have paper to print on, but bringing your own t-shirts, bags, or whatever you want to print on is more than welcome!
Talk to Fort Worden’s Interpretive Ranger, Kelsey, about animal tracks, tree rings, and other interesting evidence nature leaves behind!
Thursday April 4, 2024
Bone Bonanza!
Have you ever seen a Northern Elephant Seal Skeleton? The Port Townsend Marine Science Center will have on display a fully articulated Northern Elephant Seal recovered by the Marine Mammal Stranding Network.
Alongside the Northern Elephant Seal, other marine mammal skeletons and skulls will be on display.
No additional supplies will be needed to gaze upon the skeletons of the many different marine mammals.
Friday April 5, 2024
Sea and Shore Investigation!
Among the nearshore foliage of the Pacific Northwest hides alien plant species that can disrupt the ecosystem. Learn from our guided nature walk which plants should stay, and which are invasive.
For those who want a more relaxed outdoor experience, one can join in birdwatching. Some specimens in our museum can serve as a guide for what birds you may see in the water right now.
Most of these activities will be outdoors, so it is highly recommended to bring water and a pair of good walking shoes.
We have binoculars you can borrow, but you are always welcome to bring your own equipment to birdwatch!
Saturday & Sunday April 6-7, 2024
Spring Break Science!
Explore hidden microscopic worlds! Use our microscopes to check out a bug’s wing, look at plankton swimming through water, or see what grains of sand look like up close. Have your own items you are interested in looking at? Bring them in!
Help us beautify our museum sidewalks by adding a drawing to our collaborative chalk mural
Explore the beach with a special Spring Break scavenger hunt!

Join us for our upcoming Earth Day Beach Cleanup
April 20th
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
This Earth Day, let’s work together to keep our oceans healthy.
In partnership with WA CoastSavers and the JeffCo Trash Task Force, join PTMSC as we work together to clean up local beaches and roadways. Learn about the impact of past cleanups on our webpage, Coastal Cleanups.
This year, we will be hosting cleanups at multiple locations! Join us at either of our check-in locations: Fort Worden State Park or Chimacum Corner Farmstand.
Find more information at ptmsc.org/event/earth-day-beach-cleanup
Check-in locations
At these, you will be given directions to beach locations and supplies like trash bags and gloves.
Fort Worden State Park:
From 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., you will find our check-in table outside the PTMSC Museum Building. This is the second building on the left, past the pier.
From here, we will be sending participants to local beaches throughout Port Townsend.
Chimacum Corner Farmstand:
From 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. you will find our check-in table in the parking lot at 9122 Rhody Dr.
From here, participants will have three cleanup options.
Option 1 – Beach Cleanup! We will send participants to local beaches throughout the greater Port Hadlock area.
Option 2 – Roadside Cleanup! We are partnering with JeffCo Trash Task Force and will send volunteers out to pick up debris along pre-selected roads. This means we can collect trash before it becomes marine debris!
Option 3 – Remote Cleanup! Are you feeling up for trekking a few miles on the beach and carrying a load of debris on your back? Well, this option is for you! We are putting together one or two small groups to clean up more remote beach locations. For more information on what this would entail, reach out to Mandi at mjohnson@ptmsc.org.
Register for these cleanups or find other locations in Washington State here!
