We are currently wrapping up our 2019 Winter/Spring Program. Over the past several months 65 students have done a remarkable job constructing three Tidewater 14 skiffs while improving STEM and life skills.  After putting the finishing touches on two of the boats the youngsters will row them on the Elizabeth River. Check out the photos in the gallery below of our young boat builders in action.
