2025 Summer Program

Build a very stable flat water 12' Kudzu-type kayak. Build it using a fuselage frame design. Learn to skin the kayak with synthetic fabric and apply a waterproof finish. A recreational kayak perfect for fishing, paddling, or photography.

This is a two-week course. It will continue the following week (July 14 – July 18) The second week's activities will depend on how fast the class moves in the first week. We will make a paddle as well.

Please note, ages 12 and up only.

See https://www.kudzucraft.com/web/ for videos and demonstrations of this remarkable craft.

Please note there is a $350 materials fee which is included in the total cost of this camp. The total cost for this 2-week workshop is $1200.

Students will be required to bring a life vest for the final day's paddle in the river. They may not test their kayak without them.
