The mission of The Compact is to advance the health and cultural well being of the yearround Provincetown community and the Lower Cape – its people, the natural environment and the economy. It manages two dune shack residencies in the Cape Cod National Seashore and runs the Provincetown Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla, which has raised $4M since 1988 for AIDS, women’s health and the community.
The Compact also acts as a grass-roots incubator (think-ubator) for social, environmental and artistic projects.
Everyone is welcome.
For 25 years, SKIP has served the Outer Cape from the beginning of November to the end of April, Monday through Friday. SKIP offers a safe haven for both nutritional and social nourishment during the relative isolation fostered by the region’s seasonal economy.
While its meals are a stopgap for those made jobless by the closing of hotels, restaurants and other tourism related employment, SKIP recognizes the need for various community services among many of its diners. Its daily gathering has become and will continue to be a resource for assistance and housing, mental-health and other programs.
The Center is a pioneer in marine animal disentanglement, regional water quality monitoring, high resolution seafloor mapping, seal and fisheries research, marine debris and marine plastics studies, and some of the earliest and ongoing studies of land-sea interaction.
The Center’s newly renovated Hiebert Marine Laboratory is open year-round and features the only large whale skeleton on Cape Cod, that of Spinnaker, a 37-foot humpback whale who died of entanglement in 2015, as well as specialty books on marine science for sale. We also offer field walks, educational programs, beautifully designed apparel at our kiosk on MacMillan Pier in season, and the popular winter lecture series at Napi’s the last Wednesday of the month, October—May.
The West End Racing Children’s Community Sailing (WERCCS) non-profit organization offers children’s sailing program for ages 8-14 providing lessons and equipment for a seasonal registration fee of $100.
