2026 Summer Camps and Classes

Give your child a summer filled with confidence, creativity, and real accomplishment at The Center for Wooden Boats. Our Summer Camps offer kids hands-on days sailing on Lake Union and building in the workshop, guided by experienced instructors in a safe, supportive environment parents can trust.

From beginner to advanced sailing camps, kids learn teamwork, responsibility, and confidence on the water. For those who love to create, woodworking and design camps offer the chance to problem-solve, build projects from start to finish, and feel proud of what they make.

Quick and Daring Boat Building is a favorite, as campers design, build, and launch their own boats, learning what is possible when they work together and try something new.

As we approach our 50th Anniversary in 2026, The Center for Wooden Boats continues a long tradition of helping kids grow skills, confidence, and independence through meaningful summer experiences on the water.
