Raft Build (Water Safety Day)

The 2025 Cambridgeshire Water Safety Day will take place at Grafham Reservoir on 30th May 2025, hosted by Grafham Water Centre, a service of Cambridgeshire County Council, in collaboration with the Outdoor Foundation. This free event will bring together water safety practitioners, advocates, and educators from across the county to promote inclusive drowning prevention. Aimed at children, young people, and families, the day will highlight the importance of ensuring everyone—regardless of background—can enjoy water safely.

As part of our Water Safety Day, w are pleased to be able to offer Raft Building!  We will put you into teams, each group is issued with ropes, poles and barrels in order to build a floating craft which will stay afloat with every group member on board.

This activity can involve lots of wet people, some interesting designs and lots of fun!

Buoyancy aids are provided.  Please bring a change of clothes, and shoes which can get wet!

Available for age 6 and upwards

Please choose your time slot from the 4 available, and add the number of people you wish to attend.  Build your own timetable with the various activities on offer, and don't forget our BBQ!
