The Association was incorporated in 1982 as a non-profit, public benefit corporation whose primary purpose is to promote an appreciation for and interest in the natural history of the Dana Point area.

To further its purpose, the Association maintains a docent program for community volunteers who want to become involved in educational and interpretive activities within the Park.
