Whitewater Rafting & Pegging

Introduction

Home On The Range Adventure Tours’ team building programs are unique, challenging, fun and keep everyone involved. We can combine a selection of activities to create one-half day or whole day event. These activities can of course be extended to incorporate as many one-half or whole days as desired. And, we can divide your group into any number of teams that will spend the day competing in, enjoying, and learning from an assortment of events and challenges.

Many of our activities can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making them perfect for breakout sessions, though most of our exercises are somewhat longer. Groups can often complete 3 - 4 of our individual events within an hour to an hour and a half, and can comfortably complete 5 of our events within a three hour time frame. All of our activities are easily adaptable to group size and many can be conducted either indoors or outdoors.

Pricing will vary depending on the number of individuals participating in an event, on the length of the event, and on the particular team building event selected. Ask our expert event planners for an exact price based on your group and your specific choice of programs.

Here are other exciting ideas as to how to spend one-half day with your team.

Whitewater Rafting & Pegging

For our Rafting and Pegging program you start with a series of FUN ground based activities. Then you prepare for the rafting/pegging program. The objective of this activity is to collect pegs at designated places along the river. A map is provided clearly marking the locations. Each raft team is assigned a task at each designated location.

The first raft must set out a peg, the next raft places a peg beside the first one, this layout of pegs continues until the last raft picks up the pegs and distributes them among the rafts before placing them at the next location. The tasks of ‘set-out’ and ‘pick-up’ rotate among the rafts. And so the program continues with demerit points and bonus points available along the way. There are ten locations, five on each river bank. All activities are completed under the supervision of our professional guides.

If your group selects the full day program, you will complete ground based activities in the morning, have lunch and then participate in the rafting activities in the afternoon.

Simply Serious FUN Rafting

We use this program to illustrate key personal and team skills required for working effectively in a group and/or as a team. The focus is on having fun and being aware of how people interact. The group will participate in activities such as those outlined below (please note these are samples and will vary depending on your group’s unique requirements). The activities are completed at various locations along the river banks while rafting.

Group Juggling

- groups are tasked with tossing tennis balls through a specific pattern. Then they are challenged to toss other objects and/or to toss the objects in a reverse pattern.

Better Your Time

- this exercise has participants form a circle, and pass an object around the circle in the best time possible ... the group is then challenged to beat a specified time accepted by the group.

Network Connector

- this activity uses a “play parachute” that serves as an organizational metaphor to demonstrate the “network connections” among the group members (further explanation given at the site). The group is given several problems associated with the parachute.

Ball Shuffle

- participants are split into groups and tasked with the movement of a set of balls from one place to another in the fastest time possible in full view of the other groups.

Mine Field

- participants are split into pairs and given the task, while facing several problems, to maneuver through this unique course.

As mentioned, these are samples of the types of activities groups may be given to complete. We have the option of utilizing a broad range of activities that are best suited to your particular group and what you want to accomplish.

The full day program runs similar to the rafting/pegging program (above). The group will complete ground based activities in the morning, have lunch and then participate in the rafting activities in the afternoon.
