NEW THIS YEAR !!
Women's Kayak Building Week
July 14th to 18th
9 AM to 3 PM
Designed Just for Women. Learn the proper use of hand tools and epoxy to construct a beautiful wood kayak that is lighter than any commercial boat you can buy, but also rugged enough for years of enjoyable paddling. Using the fast and easy stitch and tape method you can construct a 15-foot work of art that everyone will admire. Painted bottom and varnished topsides blend color with natural beauty.
