This $500 gift certificate for a course at the WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, Maine must be used by September 2011.

Welcome to the WoodenBoat School!

2009 celebrates 29 years of offering courses designed around the arts of boatbuilding, woodworking, seamanship, and related crafts. The WoodenBoat School has been extremely fortunate over the years to have so many people join us for classes, and in spite of uncertain economic times, participation in WoodenBoat School’s array of courses continues to grow.

WoodenBoat School students learn by doing, each at their own pace, in a truly inspiring environment. Most classes are small, enabling instructors ample time to work with each individual. The friendly, first-class staff and faculty are eager to share their vast knowledge and experience in our well-equipped shops and waterfront. It is a unique and wonderful opportunity for folks of all ages.

Each year over 700 students, instructors, and guests from the world over make their way to this small coastal Maine town to learn new skills and new ways of doing things. The students taking part in WoodenBoat School program are as diverse as the course offerings themselves. Many are alumni who return to campus to pursue a lifetime interest in boatbuilding, woodworking, or boating while others are, perhaps, discovering the craft of wooden boats for the first time. The WoodenBoat School surrounds its students with outstanding teachers, fine craftsmanship, beautiful boats on its waterfront, good food and comfortable accommodations, and the unspoiled beauty of Down East Maine. At week’s end new friends have become old friends and folks depart with an inspiration and renewal that can only be found in a special place like this. Will you be the lucky winner of this exceptional opportunity?
