Raft Building

Build it, race it, try not to sink it.

Overview

Raft building is all about teamwork, problem solving and a healthy dose of chaos. Working against the clock, your group designs and builds a raft from barrels, ropes and a selection of equipment.

Then it's time for the real test: racing it across the lake to see whose design actually floats, and whose teamwork holds up. Perfect for schools, residentials, corporate groups and team building days, it blends creativity, communication and plenty of laughter.

Suitable for ages 8 and up, with teams of 4 to 8 working together on each raft.

What A Session Looks Like

01 Plan It

A safety briefing and an introduction to the challenge, then planning time for each team to agree on a design.

02 Build It

Barrels, ropes, equipment and a ticking clock. Every team builds a raft ready to launch.

03 Race It

Launch onto the lake for a race or timed challenge across the water, with bonus rounds like balance tests, rescue missions and redesigns. Expect a few soggy feet.
