The Camp is an awesome 2 week event where you complete approximately 50% of the SCAMP boat.

I always enjoy speaking with Howard as he is a very articulate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic seaman who has, and continues to do amazing and fun stuff with small boats and to promote the benefits of small vessels to folks worldwide.<a style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" href="http://soundexp.org"> </a> During the interview we had a great time talking about the SCAMP boat, the SCAMP Camp (next one is in August in Port Townsend) and the new adventures of <a style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" href="http://www.smallcraftacademy.com/">SmallCraftAcademy.com</a>.
