Raft Building

Our improvised raft building sessions take place on open placid (non-moving) inland water. Acclimbatize staff are on hand to advise on appropriate knots and aspects of safe design.

A Team Challenge Activity


We use raft building as a multi faceted team challenge activity. The level of input from instructional staff during rafting sessions will be tailored to reflect levels of motivation, practical awareness and commitment within the team.

The design and construction of a raft, which must later be relied on by its creators presents a realistic, genuine and practical problem-solving task. All team members can work together toward achieving a shared but single goal.

The Journey


Having completed the build phase – now comes the journey! The team may be tasked with completing a designated journey or the retrieval of pre-placed object at a challenging but achievable distance from shore.

The consequence for failure at the build stage may be obvious, but can teams follow up their success and work as a co-ordinated, cohesive unit to cross the open water and fully complete their challenge – organised celebrations and antics ahoy!
