Although the Rocking the Boat student body isn't physically gathering at 812 Edgewater Road on the Bronx River each afternoon, it is nonetheless an active community. And this isn't a stroke of luck. It is the result of the trust, teamwork, compassion, and meaningful connections that have been built into every Rocking the Boat programmatic experience. Whether working together to bend a steaming plank in place, tacking across the East River, or trawling for microplastics from a wooden boat, Rocking the Boat participants build bonds that transcend the physical. The attachment that holds the Rocking the Boat community together is strong and that bond will never be more critical than during this strange time.
Please watch this space for examples of what Rocking the Boat students are doing to continue to learn, grow, and connect this spring. We are All in the Same Boat.
