Compass Project

Compass Project is a small community-based program located in Portland, Maine, operating as part of Spurwink Services. With a team of three dedicated employees, Compass Project focuses on providing transformative experiences for youth through the engaging world of boat building and rowing. Their primary mission is to guide young people, particularly those from local high schools and middle schools, towards personal growth and community involvement. They achieve this through hands-on learning experiences centered around boat building, fostering a sense of responsibility and environmental awareness. Compass Project also aims to expand its reach through summer programming, collaborating with various summer camps across Maine to offer week-long boat building camps. What sets Compass Project apart is its unique approach to education. By merging traditional learning with the practical skills of boat building, they create a dynamic and engaging environment where youth can develop valuable life skills while connecting with nature and their community.
