We are looking for Docents for the Rosario Discovery Center. This interpretive center is Maritime themed, with displays and activities for children and adults. The center is open for school trips, on weekends and busy holidays starting Memorial Day.
We are also looking for volunteers to act as docents at our Civilian Conservation Corps Interpretive Center. This interpretive center is a museum dedicated to the CCC. The CCC was a program from the 1930s apart of Franklin D Roosevelt's New Deal. The CCC men did a lot of great work at Deception Pass State Park and around the country. Bits of that history can be seen throughout the park in the trails people walk, buildings they see, and roads they drive on.
Volunteer your time and learn about this great history and share it with the public.

About Deception Pass Park Foundation
Location:
41020 State Route 20, oak harbor, WA 98277, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to to do something about the disparity between the general funds available to the Park and the enormous backlog of resource protection and education projects. We also provide volunteers to help with Park and Foundation programs.
Description
With diverse ecosystems, a vbrant history, and and iconic bridge, Deception Pass State Park is an ideal place to explore, recreate, relax and learn. Beaches, sand dunes and tide pools flank old growth forests, freshwater lakes, and rocky balds. Deception Pass still bears the impression of the native peoples that once called this area home, and many of the park’s structures were built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Yet despite everything that the park has to offer and a visitation rate that puts it on par with many National Parks, Deception Pass is subject to increasingly uncertain state funding, which seems to come and go like the tides.
That’s where we come in. The Deception Pass Park Foundation was formed in 2005 by a group of park neighbors. Our mission is to provide support for education and resource protection at Deception Pass. With the help of our members and community supporters, we've already accomplished a lot. But there's always more to do. So join us and help us preserve Deception Pass and ensure that park visitors will continue to enjoy its natural and historic wonders.
