Excellent speakers with experience from current successful programs; ample time to ask questions and seek advice.
Background: Over fifteen years ago, the Center for Wooden Boats gathered organizations together to discuss how rowing, boatbuilding, sailing, and other waterfront activities could be used as teaching tools. Two conferences were held; the result is seen in many independent organizations using small boats as teaching tools. It is time, once again, to get these organizations together to share ideas.
The 2010 Conference will be held at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation’s waterfront facilities in Alexandria, Virginia. The Conference will be hosted jointly by ASF, The Center for Wooden Boats, and WoodenBoat Publications. The Conference will include presentations by experts, panel discussions, answers to your questions, and social interaction.
Limited Space — Only 20 seats available
