Float or swim with Raft Building at Cairngorms Activities

Raft Building in the Cairngorms

Looking for an activity that will have you bonding, learning new skills, and laughing all at the same time? Raft Building at Cairngorms Activities could be just the ticket!

Your raft building session will take place on our on-site purpose-built pond. Your team (or teams) will be given plastic drums, long wooden poles, and lots of rope... what comes next is up to you!

Working together, and under the expert eyes of our instructors, you’ll design and build your rafts. Kitted out with buoyancy aids, helmets, and paddles, you’ll take your rafts to the water and test their ‘seaworthiness’.

See which team’s raft fares the best, race across the pond, and see who gets crowned champion raft builders at the end. Don’t worry, our heated changing rooms will be available for those whose rafts don’t pass the buoyancy test!

This is a great activity for schools and youth groups, stag and hen groups, or corporate team building days.
