Raft Building

With your team having to earn the components of your raft, you will then barter for more parts from your opposing team. Whether you are transporting a tyre across a pond or your entire team out to sea, your ability to communicate an effective strategy to construct and float your raft will be seriously tested in this Neptune classic.

Not so much a hard skills exercise, Raft building is more about team work, compromise, delegation, shared responsibility and shared risk.

Fail to act as a team and construct a stable raft….And you could find yourself taking an early bath, in the Irish Sea.

Bonding Programme - Improving Group Dynamics

Wicklow or Louth

The group starts with our crystal maze challenge. Teams compete against each other completing a series of tasks designed to bring out leadership, communication and problem solving qualities among other skills. Points are awarded for successful completion. Meanwhile, our team monitors each person.

After lunch, teams compete in the raft building challenge. The materials they get are based on the points they where awarded in the morning session and the best construction usually wins! Uniquely, our team writes a report on each participant; sent back to the school within a week.
