Building rafts

In brief

During the raft building team building you will pioneer with sustainable building materials such as wooden poles and ropes with the participants being the main focus. After the instruction, teams are made and each team gets its own set of materials.

The assignment: design and build a sturdy structure with which to reach the goal, or the other side. And then prove it in a mutual competition!

This involves creativity, leadership and decisiveness. Fun guaranteed!

Interaction

Are you task-oriented or more people-oriented?

Personal style

Quiet or quick in the workshop?

Behavior

Working with yourself or with the other?

Building rafts and boating

Back to basics team building adventure on and near the water! Each team (4-6 people) gets 8 poles, 4 barrels and enough ropes to build their own raft. It is of course the intention that the raft is solid and stable enough to carry the whole team. What design goes with this and how best to build it? And what about the streamline? In a paddle race it is finally determined which team has built the best raft. Optimal cooperation and fun guaranteed!

Raft building team building

With extra thick wooden poles of up to 3 meters in length, various constructions can be built. Teams are given 1.5 hours to do this.

Pioneering: from nothing to something
It starts with a design on paper and building a prototype with the lightweight bamboo sticks. In the next phase, the team gets down to the real work! For this, the necessary knots are first taught. Once everyone has practiced the mast throw, lashing and winding in several variations, they can start working independently.

Alternatives possible
Various versions are possible. Which solution will the team come up with?

Need extra challenge?
We can add various game elements to the assignment as desired.

What our customers say

"Workshop sparring with the DISC, or boxing with our employees. Lots of interaction, energy and reflection. It was a blast!"

We discovered how we could get more out of our Team Building at the Eiland van Maurik; fun and concrete content! The anthousisame, knowledge, skills and adaptability of Jouke and Angelique are an absolute added value!

In a unique way, Angelique takes you sparring through the disc method. As a result, you literally learn! I learned what color(s) to confess and how others are colored.

Great collaboration, real listening and results. Very pleasant experience and from the team all praise for the Purpose Discovery workshop with 23plusone! Thanks
