Rafted canoeing is probably the most popular safe water-based activity that Mobile Team Adventure deliver.
Using two canoes joined together with planks and bungees we make a stable ‘catamaran’ style craft. Each Pyranha Venture Canoe is 17-foot-long and 3 feet wide which is great for all ages. kids; from the very young Beaver Scout or Primary School child, up to a Venture Scout or Sixth Former.
You’ll love to play fun games, especially if you’re competitive; head-to-head races and challenges with the other crafts which will encourage team work.
Two canoes joined together are a great tool to introduce canoeing as a safe team activity. It really is a team effort and no individual is left on their own whilst learning the basic skills of canoeing.
