About
Fundraising for a Summer Boat Camp for ten 14-16 year olds from Abbey School, Faversham. Under supervised, expert instruction they will build two 15' 6" rowing boats (a 'Joansa' design - a lightweight skiff for two oarsmen plus one coxswain) in Faversham Creek Trust's Purifier Building. The finished boats will then be kept by the school for use on Faversham Creek or elsewhere.
