Handcrafting A Northwoods Paddle: Intergenerational
Course Overview
Spend two memorable days with your grandchild, child or any young person in your life as the two of you create your own traditional paddle like ones used by Northwoods travelers for hundreds of years. Enjoy the North House harborside campus as you learn together about wood selection and wood grain considerations as well as paddle sizing and the theory of shape as applied to handles, shafts and blades. Students choose from a variety of classic paddle designs. Both adult and child leave with a custom-designed paddle they constructed with simple hand tools, as well as memories that will last a lifetime.
