Corporate Events Raft Building In Exeter

More about Raft Building Experience (12)

• Raft building provides an eventful activity that all can take part in. Group co-operation and innovation come together into what is a fun team challenging activity where the consequences of poor design, building and teamwork can soon have a wet result!

  Raft Building presents the group with the challenge of building the raft out of limited resources. The rafts must be big enough and strong enough to carry the team to a set destination. Each team must work together on all stages from carrying their materials, to the designing, building and finally paddling of their rafts.

  Barrels, poles, ropes, paddles and water and a few "red herrings" are a recipe for great fun and all being well a seaworthy vessel, though commonly a thorough soaking!

  What to bring on ALL sessions:

  • Loose, comfortable clothing, (not jeans) or shorts and T-shirt if the weather is very warm.
  • A lightweight anorak or cagoule – this will not only keep you dry but will keep the wind off.
  • Footwear for both on and off the water. Bare feet are forbidden. Easily removed shoes are not ideal as they fall off in water and get lost.
  • A full change of dry clothes/shoes and towel along with a plastic bag or bin liner to carry wet clothes home.
  • On hot sunny days please ensure that you and your group have plenty of sun cream, drinking water and a hat (The Centre cannot supply sun lotion).
  • On colder days, warm clothing which can be layered, a warm hat, gloves and scarf are advisable, as are warmer socks and a flask with a hot drink.
  • A lunch (if not provided) and a 1 litre water bottle.
