Reviews of Great Lakes Boat Building School
"My father and I attended a one-week kayak-building class here in 2012, and it was one of our greatest life experiences together. Class consisted of about a dozen students, everyone building their own boat, and pitching in to help each other along the way. Staff is friendly, relaxed, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I did not take any of the school's semester-long courses but I spoke with students who did and they loved it. Look up the courses on the school's website. If you see any that interest you I strongly suggest you sign up. This is a marvelous place, and you wont regret it. I believe there is a hotel (or two?) in Cedarville, but when we were there my Dad and I camped at Carp River Campground. A nice place that we had pretty much to ourselves. The Les Cheneaux Historical Association & Museum are nearby and worth a visit. Lots of interesting exhibits, although it's small and won't take you more than a few hours at most. EDIT: My Dad died a year after we attended the GLBBS. Our time building our kayaks is one of my most cherished memories of my Old Man. I also have the boat he built, which will become a family heirloom. I am so glad we did this together."
