Past Projects
The
Youth Kayak Program
 In
the fall of 2005, under the leadership of trustee Gene Westhoff, Carmans
River Maritime Center developed its youth kayak building program with
the idea of helping young people build strong interpersonal relationships
with adult partners as well as building well crafted boats for, hopefully,
lifelong use. We selected Chesapeake Lightcraft's Mill Creek 13 Kayak
as the design of choice both for its esthetics and because our volunteer
instructors had some experience with the building process of that
design. It has proven to be a good choice.

| Our
First Course, Building the Mill Creek Kayak, was held on the first
three weekends of November 2003, in the newly completed Newey Boat Shop. |
Though
the weather outside was frightful, the shop was warm and delightful,
for our Spring Semester of 2004. |
