Raft Building

Raft building primarily takes place on our large lake.  Groups are provide with a set number of barrels, planks, and rope to construct a vessel to carry the team on the lake.

During the building phase teams will have to work together to construct their vessel, whilst learning valuable rope skills.

before any rafts are allowed on the water they are tested by qualified instructors who ensure the safety of the construction.

Teams will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout this activity, or use their own ideas and experience to ensure that every session is tailored to suit the experience and requirements of the group.

Once out on the water, groups will be able to carry out various tasks, or just paddle around and explore the lake setting.  For groups booking more than one group on raft building it can also be possible to build a competitive element into this activity.

All safety equipment is provided for this activity.
