Wood-and-Canvas Canoe Restoration Clinic - October 19th and 20th, 2024

October 19th and 20th, 2024, 9am - 5pm 

Do you have a wood-and-canvas canoe at home that needs a little love? 

Participants in the canoe restoration clinic will learn how to re-canvas a wood-and-canvas canoe and perform basic structural repairs (for example; replacing a rib, or repairing damaged planking) while being immersed in the world's largest collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft.

Interested participants may bring their own canoe for a thorough analysis and diagnosis and will leave with all the experience necessary to repair, re-canvas, fill and finish their own canoe. You will leave with the confidence, know-how and hands-on experience needed to restore your own canoe.

This is an inspiring weekend!

Please note: Participants will not be working on their own canoes during the clinic.  You do not need to bring a canoe to the clinic in order to participate.  Sources for supplies and materials will be provided.
