Youth Boatbuilding
Get hands-on with our boat-building program and assemble your own boat from start to finish!
This fall, give your child the chance to become a young boatbuilder! Over the course of 10–12 weeks, participants will work together to build a real wooden boat — a 12-foot Bevin’s skiff — right here in our Boat Shop.
Guided by our skilled volunteer boatbuilders, kids will learn teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on craftsmanship while watching their project take shape from keel to launch.
