HELP US REACH OUR 2023 GOALS!
As we near the end of 2023 we are thankful for all the support we have received to achieve our goal of inspiring, educating, and changing behavior to help sustain a healthy Coastal Life. We do this work through the operation of our unique collect-and-release aquarium,, education programs, and conservation work.
We have great plans to continue and expand this good work in 2024 and we need your help to achieve our goal of raising $65,000 before the end of this year. Join the wave of momentum that is helping us bolster our aquarium, education programs, and conservation work to help us support a healthy and vibrant Coast Life!.
You can help children attend our camps this year!
Spring time is nearly upon us and that means it’s time for our Kids Camps to start again! We are very excited to be offering these interactive, educational experiences for children here on the Sunshine Coast.
In the past, we have received grants that helped us significantly in decreasing the price of camps, as well as providing subsidies to assist families with payment.
We want to continue to make this camp accessible to all families, regardless of their ability to pay. Your donation will help us ensure that our camps remain affordable and continue to reach as many children as possible!
Camps start at $375 per child - but we are accepting donations of any size. Thank you for your support!
Waves of Generosity - Recognizing Our Annual Donations

We created a beautiful wall complete with wooden waves and marine species as a tribute to our supporters.
Each donation of $500 will put your name or the name of someone special to you on a rockfish charm. Online donations can be made here or cheques made out to the Gibsons Marine Education Centre Society can be dropped off at the Public Market (tax receipts will be provided at year end). The rockfish charms can be renewed annually and you can get as many as you want, whenever you want.
Other ways to support our work include:
Become a Sponsor - We welcome sponsors to support our educational programs and exhibits and we look forward to celebrating each with customized recognition and benefits.
Contribute to our Endowment - In partnership with the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation we established an endowment for the Centre to be held by the Foundation in perpetuity with annual earnings directed to Centre programs. This is an excellent option for individuals interested in supporting our work into the future, potentially as part of an estate plan.
Invest in an Annual Pass - Purchase a individual or family annual pass for yourself or as a gift. Pass holders can enjoy unlimited visits.
