Family Week—August 3-9
BUILD YOUR OWN WOOD DUCK KAYAK
with ERIC SCHADE
Bring your tools and work clothes, and build your very own 10' or 12' Wood Duck recreational kayak, a very cool boat suitable for novice paddlers and fun for those with more experience. With a big cockpit and ample stability, the emphasis is on comfort. But these boats really paddle well, and speed is excellent. You’ll learn some boatbuilding skills as each family assembles their own kayak. Starting with computer-cut marine plywood parts, your kayak will be glued together using epoxy, and sheathed with fiberglass for strength. No special skill or prior experience is necessary; just bring your enthusiasm and your desire to try something new and exciting.

“Family Week was a great experience. My son said it all when he remarked, ‘I wanna come back next year!’”
