It has been a hectic few weeks of non-stop work getting the boats ready for the students coming in the 2015 season. Now the effort moves to the waterfront as our fleet of boats are launched. Thanks to the eager and competent help of our alumni, we can once again open up another season of WoodenBoat School to new and returning students from all over the world.

The WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, Maine, offers classes in boatbuilding and seamanship from June to September. Each spring, a few lucky alumni of the School travel from all over North America to help commission the campus and boats for the season. For two weeks, they paint, hammer, chisel, and saw. In the process, they bring the place to life while honing their skills and forging deep friendships.

Anyone who completes a class at the WoodenBoat School is considered an alumnus and is eligible to participate in Alumni Week. So many people want to volunteer their time during these two weeks, we have to hold a lottery. The ones who are selected consider themselves lucky.

Maybe you can join them. Become a student at www.thewoodenboatschool.com.
