A Raft Bridge.
Securing the bridge
|
A raft is a flat structure, typically made of planks, logs, or barrels, that floats on water and is used for transport or as a platform for swimmers.
A raft bridge is a bridge whose points of support are rafts or a bridge that consists of floating timbers fastened together.
With a bit of skill you can build one that will give people hours of wet fun.
Somebody has to get wet and swim across to establish the far side anchor point for the bridge.
Then all the other parts can be put together.
This a most challenging fun activity, judging by the number of wet people and shouts of encouragement from the teams.
Their spirit really comes out going across the raft bridge.
Some are afraid initially, but they try it anyway.
"Jump in! Jump in! Jump in!" the teams often chant until someone drops into the muddy water below.
But most of the participants are purposefully getting wet.

"Come on, jump in."
Timid at first, but happy when wet.
