Raft Building
With the help of your group, design the layout for a raft that will float with all your participants on board and will stay together securely. With your plan in mind, your group will then create your raft using logs, hollow barrels, and various lengths of rope. Our instructors will guide your group through the process of tying knots and lashings to secure your raft and will give the group instruction on how to direct their newly created raft, and any safety information required, before putting your group’s creation to the test on our lake.
Once your group are confident in their raft’s stability, our instructors will give the group various challenges and games to further test the strength of their creation. This session often results in many (or all) participants falling into the water (whether from their raft coming apart or from losing their balance during a challenge) so a willingness to get wet is key to having an amazing time on this session.
