RAFT BUILDING DAY

This event takes place on Wraysbury Lake just off the M25 and involves a full day of dinghy and raft-building challenges for staff team building days or just a fun day out. A BBQ lunch is provided by the water side in a most picturesque setting. Suitable for groups of 8-40 people.

You arrive at the lake (just 5 minutes off the M25) and can optionally have a bacon/ egg roll and croissant breakfast by the lake or in the clubhouse if preferred.

A safety brief is given, everyone fitted with safety gear, and then we are straight into the first challenge.

MORNING

The party is split into 3 to 6 teams and given a briefing on how a sailing boat is rigged and used on the lake. The teams then have to rig a sailing dinghy given all the component parts and then appraised accordingly. Once checked and corrected the boats are launched and each team given a challenge to transfer their team to a given location under a set of logical rules. Boats may be paddled or sailed and the challenge is on.

Once complete a short time is given before lunch for swimming, chilling, etc. A BBQ lunch is provided (see typical BBQ menu)

AFTERNOON

The crew is assembled and briefed on the basic materials needed and knot techniques for constructing a raft. Raft Building focuses on group dynamics, communication skills and leadership. We present the group with the challenge of building rafts out of limited resources. They must work together on all stages from carrying their materials to designing, building and finally paddling their rafts. When rafts are built, the group paddles their rafts around a set course on a woodland lake. The hands-on section of the workshop is over when all rafts are completely disassembled and materials are placed neatly back where they were before we started. Then we debrief the experience, highlighting positive teamwork, and setting goals for improvement.

Once complete the rafts are checked and launched and a course set for the race.

Raft building and fun racing at its best and all just outside London.
