Raft Building: When the Team Takes to the Water Together
From knot-tying to building your own raft
Raft-building is an outdoor team event in which teams construct a buoyant raft from ropes, barrels and logs, and then compete against each other on the water. The event begins with a brief introduction to knot-tying. The teams are then given their building materials and set to work. The team decides for itself how to approach the construction, who takes on which tasks and how to make the raft as stable as possible.
Planning, building and taking to the water together
Building the raft requires clear communication and good teamwork. After all, only when everyone pulls together can a raft be created that stays afloat. Before their first time on the water, all participants can get changed. Mobile changing rooms are provided for this purpose. Each person is then given a life jacket and a paddle. Then it’s off onto the water.
Challenges on the water
As soon as the rafts are afloat, the teams compete against each other in various challenges. It’s not just about speed; skill and balance are also required, for example when all participants have to stand on the raft at the same time. This creates a mix of genuine competition, shared laughter and unforgettable moments on the water.
Safety comes first
The raft-building team event is supervised by experienced water safety experts. All participants receive a detailed briefing, as well as safety helmets and life jackets. In addition, a high-quality raft accompanies the event from start to finish. This ensures that all participants can enjoy the adventure on the water in a relaxed and safe manner.
