Chimacum Shop Program

The Chimacum High School Construction Program prepares students to take the next steps for a career in the construction industry. Instruction in safety, professionalism, and the construction process, as well as tools, equipment, print reading, materials selection, project planning and management as well as estimating and bidding will all be covered through project-based learning supported by industry-backed instructional resources.

Community Boat Project

We believe in igniting passion in young people through adventure and innovative opportunities. All programs call on the students and educators to act with a high degree of integrity and commitment.  

We are dedicated to partnerships with other organizations, the community, businesses, and mentors as a powerful way to build community. Connecting youth to community Maritime Mentors creates a high degree of mental health.

For our students in the boats the theme of “The Journey” is important. Every Journey is an opportunity for significant change and growth.

When we go on the water it is in an eco-appropriate way. Our vessels are “floating classrooms” for our young sailor-scientists. The footprint must be small. We are on the constant search for a deeper understanding of Puget Sound through intimate voyaging. Through our Voyages students come to understand and love Puget Sound. They will protect what they love.

We are dedicated to getting participants on the water without charge, access to adventure is essential and should be available all people.
