The WaterFront Center (WFC) is a non-profit community center for marine education and recreation in Oyster Bay, New York. Each year WFC provides educational and recreational programs and events to over 17,000 youth and adults. Activities such as seining, sniggling, stand up paddle boarding, sailing, dip netting, and education on alternative energy are just a small sample of the programs offered. WFC encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to get out on the waters of Oyster Bay and learn about the marine environment and the sport of sailing. WFC provides marine education programs, sailing instruction to adults and children, Junior Summer Programs, school field trips, scout activities, cruises on its historic oyster sloop Christeen, and kayak and sailboat rentals. == The Christeen ==
The Christeen is the oldest oyster sloop in the United States and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992. She was built in 1883 in Glenwood Landing, New York as a gaff-rigged sloop. She had several homes including Essex, Connecticut, but in 1992 she arrived back in the hamlet of Oyster Bay, New York at The WaterFront Center. Funds were raised and over the next seven years, she was restored and relaunched. She currently serves as a working museum ship, offering educational tours of Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor.〔"The Waterfront Center 2008 Program Guide", pg. 4.〕
