Rafting
- problem solving, teamwork, innovation -

The rafting session at Coolamatong is an opportunity for campers to work in small groups to design, construct, and race their very own raft on the calm waters of Mason Bay. Campers are given a range of materials including ropes, plastic pipes, and timber, with which they must construct a raft and then race other teams on the lake.

Campers are first taught basic knots including the reef knot, clove hitch and lashing techniques. Construction guidelines help campers to ensure their designs will hold together.

Races are not just an out and back affair. They involve a number of challenges they guarantee maximum participation and a totally absorbing competition that is all about FUN, and less about actually finishing first.

Rafting can be adapted to a wide range of age groups and is able to be conducted with single or double groups.
