COASTAL DISCOVERIES is a non-profit marine adventure summer program dedicated to enriching children's understanding and appreciation of our coastal waters. We wrestle with everchanging costs and try to keep program participation fees low and affordable.

We recognize there are many area children and families who could use some financial assistance, and we do not want to exclude any child who is eager to participate in our program. We work hard to secure additional sources of funding so that we can offer full and partial scholarships to deserving, interested children.

In past years we were very fortunate to have the Institution for Saving, the Newburyport Bank and The Provident Bank sponsor children referred by the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, Pettengill House and local school systems. We were able to offer 10 full scholarships in 2023, and are looking forward to offering more opportunities for next summer in 2024.

If you would like to be a sponsor, or could use a full or partial scholarship please contact Beth Abbott-Bishop.
