There is a program forming to build kayaks during a six day class at the Peter's Valley Arts Center in Northern New Jersey, on 5/23 - 5/29 2003, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. This is a non-profit arts center offering workshops and a place to stay/meals. My husband is signed up, but the course may be cancelled if there is not more interest. (In the past they have had a waiting list.) Thought others may be interested. Email me for details or check out www.pvcrafts.org. It is listed under the woodworking workshops.
