Every raft that hits the water started as a pile of barrels, timber and rope, and a team with a plan.

• • Teams provided with barrels, timber and rope to design and build a raft

  • A set time frame to plan, build and problem solve together

  • Finished raft put to the test in the river challenge

• Real room for creativity, no two rafts turn out the same

  Some rafts float better than others, but every team leaves with a story.

Building on land is one thing, getting it on the water is another, and that's where the team steps in.

• • Instructor supervision throughout the build and the river challenge

  • [Placeholder: life jacket or PFD requirement, water safety briefing details, instructor ratio, same gap flagged for the other pages]

  • What if a raft doesn't float? That's part of the fun, the challenge is in the building and the problem solving, not just the result

  • Can teams choose their own raft design? Yes, the brief is open, the only limit is the materials and the imagination behind them
