This titanic Boat Building challenge tests your team’s boat-making skills, while they experience teamwork, creative use of resources, competition, and problem solving. The teams develop a plan, design and build their rafts then race them in the Castaway regatta. Teamwork and Consensus building are the keys to success.
The event is based on the hit movie Castaway. Each team must plan and build a raft that will hold one or two people who must then paddle across the pool, rescue a volleyball complete with the WILSON face, and deliver it to a FED-EX ® box.
Using only the materials provided – which may include PVC pipes, duct tape, inner tubes, float rings and pool noodles, teams are given a limited amount of time to construct and test their rafts. During this building phase, teams can earn additional points by demonstrating exceptional spirit and enthusiasm, creating a colorful team flag and performing a Sailor Chant in front of the entire group!
Each team must identify willing team paddlers to board the rafts during our relay style race. These racers must switch off with other team members and exchange paddles and life-jackets during each leg of the regatta!
After acknowledgment and celebration of all the teams’ efforts, points are totaled and the winners announced!
