Youth Woodworking Series-July & August
The Wooden Book School is offering a series of one-week classes happening over 4 weeks this summer. Designed for youth ages 12 - 16, this series will introduce students to the basics of woodworking and carpentry. Each class will employ shop safety, measuring, layout, joinery, and tool use and care. Additionally, students will be introduced to news tools and their applications over the course of each week. Students will take home their completed project on Fridays.
Each class runs runs Monday-Friday from 10 AM - 2 PM and is stand alone. Students can register for one week or all four weeks. There are no prerequisites for any of the classes. This series is designed to build students' skills over the course of the four weeks, so it is great to take the class sequentially, but not required. Classes are limited to 8 students to make sure everyone receives individual attention.

Building & Sailing Boats- June, July & August
Young people ages 10-17 will be introduced to woodworking, boatbuilding and sailing in this 4-day course encompassing a range of STEM focused skills and activities. Cooperation, teamwork, self-confidence, and independence will be gained as students learn to build and sail boats.
We are offering three separate sessions of this course, June 19-22, July 31-August 3, and August 28-31. Each session will begin in the Boat School each morning learning basic woodworking skills. Students will learn about the different parts of a sailboat and practice their woodworking skills while working on two in-process Optimist Pram sailboats that will be added to the HRMM sailing fleet. After lunch, students will join US Sailing Certified instructors to learn the basics of sailing. Students will practice skipper and crew skills and will sail independently when they are ready to do so.
