Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, INVOLVE me and I learn
This quote by Confucius is at the heart and soul of what we do at the Community Boating Center
What we do
Boats-By-Kids
We teach math and engineering to students by building boats. We use the hands-on building process to help students improve their math skills, learn to use basic hand tools and more.
Sailing
Every time a student steps into a boat, pulls the tiller, or trims a sail they are experiencing hands on, powerful lessons.
Sailing Into Knowledge
The weather above, the water below, everything in-between and on the boat can provide daily, real-world science lessons.
Leadership Training
The Community Boating Instructor Training Program aspires to develop the next generation of young leaders for our communities.
US Powerboating Courses
We deliver on-the-water powerboating instruction for anyone who wants to learn how to safely operate a powerboat or improve their on-the-water boat handling skills. No experience necessary.
CBC
Safe, Fun, Learning is the cornerstone for CBC’s model
A safe environment for kids- socially, emotionally, and physically – built around fun engaging activities, leads to an amazing learning environment. Kids are constantly learning, even when they don’t realize they are learning!
Safe. Fun. Learning.

More than Sailing
After school, during school breaks, occasionally for pay, but mostly for social reasons, teenagers from area high schools are coming to CBC. It has become not just a job but a way of life.
