Join Rocking the Boat San Francisco’s Spring Launch Celebration
Rocking the Boat San Francisco is hosting its Spring Launch Celebration on June 7 to highlight the accomplishments of the program’s 9th and 10th grade students as they complete their first term of the inaugural boatbuilding program. The students spent the term at the facility in the historic shipyard of India Basin restoring Neptune, a 14-ft Whitehall built by students in the Bronx in 2004. The boat was shipped across the country for the students of Bayview-Hunters Point to restore. Now completed, Neptune will be launched on June 7 to mark this awesome effort.
Rocking the Boat uses traditional wooden boatbuilding, rowing, environmental education, and sailing to build skills through youth after-school and summer programs.
Join the students, families, and crew of Rocking the Boat S.F. on June 7 to celebrate this outstanding achievement and the next generation of boat builders.
This is a FREE family-friendly event with something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. “Bring your family, bring your friends, and let’s enjoy a day celebrating our young boat builders in the gorgeous India Basin Waterfront Park! There will be comedy acts, music and food vendors, so join us in celebrating the next generation of boat builders and hop into Neptune for a row on the San Francisco waterfront!”
Representatives from the maritime industry will also be on-site to answer any questions and share their trade with you.
Rocking the Boat is a youth job-skills program, establishing community access to the water, born in the Bronx in 1997. The program also offers boatbuilding and rowing opportunities to the general public. See more.
