Raft Building
Take to the seven seas... or lake
Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a Bear Grylls type, capable of overcoming any survival situation? Think you're up to the challenge of building a sturdy, reliable raft that will cruise your team to victory? Or will you end up like Tom Hanks in 'Cast Away', hope lost and befriended to a volleyball named Wilson. There's only one real way to find out, by taking part in our raft building team challenge!
With such a specific activity you will need a body of water suitable to host the event. We work closely with a variety of venues across the UK and have a selected few we can recommend or help book you into. Just send our events team an enquiry and we can help plan your day from start to finish, including overnight accommodation if required.
The Event Format
On arrival, your group will meet our onsite event manager who will split you into teams of up to 6. Each team is then given a work station with identical materials to begin building their raft.
It's only the best for our clients, no barrels and logs here, instead we provide each team with a set amount of modular pontoon, timber & rope. The beauty of using pontoon over barrels and logs is that it can be configured together in a huge variety of different ways, which means you end up with very different looking rafts for each team!
As the creativity begins to flow and rafts take shape, it's then a battle against time to complete your build. The biggest factor to consider when crafting your raft will not only be speed of the vessel but also durability, as there are no re-build or repairs allowed once the final racing begins.
For those who are after a full day's event, we can also include additional activities to be mixed in during the build stage with teams rotating around stations. These include; Fire Making, Blindfold Tent Building, Axe Throwing, Laser Clays, Segways, Quad Bikes, Archery, Flag Making and many more to give you a true 'survival day'!
The event rounds off with 3 heats of final racing to find out the undisputed raft racing champions!
We know that the weather can play a big factor in deciding on what to do for your team day out, don't worry, we have you covered come rain or shine!
