Taster Sessions
General Information
This activity encourages teamwork, cooperation and problem solving, as well as testing out your knowledge of knots and the concepts of building items from scratch.
It's always useful to practise your knots before you come. We use a clove hitch, square lashing and a reef knot.
What will you learn?
Taster Session content
Rafting sessions can be run in a variety of ways to suit the group. Talk to the instructor before the session to get the most out of your day.
There is no charge for Leaders but depending on the group it can be helpful if they assist with the building.
If you have any Leaders who haven't built rafts before, we can run a half day training before the event (see below).
Session recommendations
Evening or part of a multi-activity day.
If you have a large group, come for a full day and see our Groups page for creative rafting ideas. We have enough equipment for up to 11 rafts.
We have a variety of rafting designs to suit the age and competence of the participants.
