Drawing on Hampton Roads' rich maritime heritage, Tidewater Wooden Boat Workshop provides area youth with unique and exciting experiential learning opportunities. Students learn math, science and other critical life skills as they build wooden boats and are taught to row and sail them on local waters. While participating in these activities, their world expands and learning becomes relevant and fun. They not only learn about boats, they learn about themselves as they master new skills and discover talents and interests they didn't know they had.
Our flagship youth program combines a proven STEM curriculum utilizing the nationally recognized “Building To Teach” methodology to build wooden rowboats and sailboats. During weekly workshop sessions participants build confidence and skills as their boat comes alive. Through expert instruction and hands on experiences, math and science join wood, paint, sweat and teamwork as the boat reaches completion. The class culminates with a launching of the boat and instruction on how to row and sail.
