Please join us at one of the launches to celebrate the students' accomplishments!

Compass Project boat builders/teachers, Clint Chase, Shane Hall and Margaret Mountcastle and dedicated volunteers have been busy all school year working with students from nine schools and organizations on seven different boat designs. Students are challenged to work as a team, learn new skills and vocabulary, and to persevere over a long project. We are very proud of them and they are proud of their boats!
