Annabelle's Aha Moment
"I was never good at math," Annabelle used to tell herself, but building a boat changed that!

Ayanna & Kandyce
They thought building a boat would have to take years. Surprise! It only took nine days! Check out how they plan to apply this experience to their lives.

What Does the Future Hold?
Imani, Anabelle, Angelica want more experiences like this and even see themselves continuing to help build boats with kids.

Full of Surprises
The whole experience was a surprise to these two summer campers, especially seeing what they could accomplish with teamwork.

One Final Word
Thanks for watching our Root Beer Float-tilla video series. Here’s one last message from Jessica Howard, President of Chemeketa Community College and member of our advisory board, about the profound impact programs like Wind & Oar can have on individual students, our educational system, and our entire future. It's bigger than the boat!
