Raft Building
Explore your building and design skills by constructing a bamboo raft from scratch
Delegates are split into smaller teams and each team receives some bamboo, inflatable truck inner tubes and ropes.
The challenge is to build a raft from bamboo to support the entire team.
Teams first brainstorm their design, then draw their design in the sand, and later execute their plan with precision and speed.
What an opportunity for employees to step up and show their building and design skills. And what an excitement for the entire team to find out that their raft actually holds and doesn't break apart.
It can swim with up to 8 people on top. This creates team bonding and a feeling of accomplishment.
Event objectives
In this exercise, executives step out of their comfort zone, pull together and accomplish something they have never thought was possible. This creates team spirit and a sense of purpose like "We can do it!"
Activity duration
The raft building activity on its own takes about 90 minutes, and some game elements can be added before or after the actual builidng, such as designing a life vest from recycled plastic bottles (should be added before) or a raft racing competition (which goes well after the building). Together, this is a half-day event, taking about 3 to 3.5 hours.
Group size
Ideal group size is small to medium-sized groups, from about 20 to 39 participants. However, this program can accommodate groups up to 99 participants.
Target audience
Raft building is ideal for executives who want to do some physical activities that involves planning and building. It is a high-impact activity and the feeling of accomplishment is outstanding.
