Give Alaska kids a future in the blue economy.

AlaSkins Discovery Day Camps offer immersive, hands-on experiences that connect children with Alaska's incredible marine resources and the principles of sustainability. Designed for young explorers in Soldotna and the Kenai Peninsula area, our day camps dive deep into the world of wild Alaskan salmon and the innovative 100% Fish model—where every part of the fish is valued, promoting sustainable resource use and ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Through fun, age-appropriate activities, campers learn about the full lifecycle of salmon, from river to table and beyond. They'll participate in guided explorations of local ecosystems, engage in creative crafts using fish-inspired materials, and attend interactive lessons on zero-waste innovation. We even demonstrate how fish by-products can be transformed into useful (and exciting!) products, like nutrient-rich treats. Led by passionate educators with real-world experience in sustainable fisheries and marine conservation, these camps spark curiosity, build environmental awareness, and empower kids to become stewards of Alaska's waters.

Whether your child is fascinated by science, nature, or creative problem-solving, our day camps provide a memorable outdoor adventure that blends education with play. Sessions are tailored for different age groups, with small class sizes to ensure personalized attention and ample opportunities to discover, ask questions, and have fun. Join us to inspire the next generation of ocean advocates—register today and help turn young minds toward a more sustainable future!

Blue Salmon: 100% Fish is an innovative, engaging board game developed by AlaSkins Discovery to teach kids and young adults about sustainable resource use through the powerful 100% Fish model in a fun, interactive way.

In this game, players take on the roles of innovative fishery stewards, tasked with harvesting, processing, and utilizing every part of the salmon—from fillets and roe to skin, bones, scales, and even organs. Through strategic gameplay, challenges, and decision-making, participants earn points by creating value-added products, achieving zero waste, and balancing profit with environmental responsibility, all represented by 'Good Steward Points.' The game brings real-world concepts like by-product innovation, circular economy principles, and marine conservation to life, demonstrating how small choices can significantly impact ocean health and community prosperity.

We are currently using Blue Salmon: 100% Fish as a core activity in our AlaSkins Discovery Day Camps, where it brings the day’s lessons to life—kids get to apply their knowledge of salmon utilization through playful strategy, reinforcing zero-waste ideas in an exciting and memorable format. Perfect for classrooms, family game nights, youth programs, or educational events, this game makes complex sustainability topics accessible and engaging. It’s not just a game; it’s a tool to inspire a lifelong appreciation for responsible resource use and the blue economy. Created right here in Alaska, this adaptable game can be customized for different fish species and regions, helping schools and communities around the world introduce the 100% Fish philosophy to the next generation.
