Executive Director of AMIkids Panama City Marine Institute, Ron Boyce, said it's a great experience for the youngsters to learn the importance of helping out their community.
"This boat ramp is really special to Panama City Marina City students. It's right next door to us so this is where we launch our boats. It's right there so we love this," said Boyce.
In honor of their hard work, AMIkids was allowed to be the first to launch their boat "Captain Bob" in the water Tuesday. City officials said the boat ramp will be open from sunrise to sunset.
