Thirty Year Bash

In 1994, Nick Patch started a kayak building program at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum that would grow to be known as Champlain Discovery. A few years later, he kicked off the boat building and rowing program, Champlain Longboats. For thirty years, Nick’s programs have been building beautiful wooden boats with local students that have grown into a fleet used by a vibrant community of student and adult rowers, staff, and friends.

Join us for a Thirty Year Bash as we celebrate Nick Patch and 30 years of youth boat building with our community! All are invited to enjoy good food, dancing, games, drinks, slideshow of photos, memories, and more.
