A SAD ANNOUNCEMENT
TWBW Will Be Closing Permanently
Since its founding, TWBW has served as a place where young people and community members came together to learn traditional wooden boatbuilding, develop life skills, and discover confidence through hands-on craftsmanship. The accomplishments of our students, volunteers, and supporters are a lasting testament to the power of teamwork, mentorship, and creativity.
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors determined that it is necessary to bring our operations to a close. This decision was not made lightly and reflects the many challenges we faced with having to move our workshop. We are proud of the legacy created through the countless hours of instruction, the many boats built and launched, and the lives positively impacted.
WELCOME
Tidewater Wooden Boat Workshop teaches Hampton Roads youth STEM and life skills through the building of wooden boats and other nautical activities. All of our youth programs are offered at no cost to families with many sessions throughout the week in an effort to meet scheduling needs. Students not only learn the math and carpentry skills required to build wooden boats, but also utilize teamwork, communication skills, planning and organization, as well as problem solving.
