Mobile activities for on the water
We have a fleet of both Canadian canoes and kayaks, as well as other craft, that we can bring to your venue if there is access to suitable water. After introducing the delegates to the basic paddling skills required to manoeuvre the craft, we can arrange an expedition, a series of races or aqualogical challenges or even on-the-water orienteering and treasure hunts.
We can also organise raft-building exercises. We will provide all of the materials - barrels, vast quantities of lashing and pioneering poles. A short session on rope work and lashing techniques can be included. The delegates will then work in teams against the clock to devise a plan, develop their strategy and build their craft. At the end on the construction period the teams will put their rafts on the water and go head-to-head in a raft race over a set distance.
A raft-building activity really does require teamwork and often uncovers strengths and weaknesses of the delegates. We always provide appropriate safety cover and our instructors hold the necessary qualifications to run water-based activities. All delegates are equipped with buoyancy aids and helmets as necessary.

"The challenge was mastering both new skills - paddling a Canadian canoe and map reading to navigate around the orienteering couse. Great fun and not too wet!"
