- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a family boat building workshop! 

Sign up with your team to find out what it takes to build your very own boat - in two days no less! Under the guidance of volunteers and staff, you will build The Elegant Punt, a simple yet sturdy 8-foot row boat, which will be yours to take home at the end. Starting Saturday morning, a dedicated team can finish their boat by Sunday afternoon and launch it for a brief row around the waterway to admire their handiwork.

This two-day class is specially designed for first-time boat builders! No experience is required. You will learn essential skills such as measuring, steam-bending wood, clamping, and laminating, as well as get practice using tools such as hand saws, drills, and routers.

Families are welcome - Each team can consist of two to five people, at least two of whom must be adults. Children 12 and up are welcome!
