Set along the peaceful waters of Sibson Lake near Stibbington, England, Adventure Nene Ltd presents the Raftbuilding Challenge, a lively 60-minute activity perfect for groups eager to combine creativity with hands-on teamwork. This isn’t your typical lakeside outing — participants work together to design, construct, and then race a raft they’ve built themselves, all while immersed in the fresh air and open sky. The stakes are high: will your raft float proudly or collapse spectacularly under pressure?
Sibson Lake is a serene body of water framed by gentle woodland and fields, providing a refreshing backdrop that invites fun without distraction. The site’s shallow areas and calm currents make it an ideal spot for such a team-based challenge, ensuring safety and accessibility for participants as young as eight years old. Adventure Nene Ltd supplies all the necessary gear—from wetsuits to buoyancy aids—letting you jump straight into the excitement with confidence.
Adventure Nene Ltd is a distinctive voice in the regional outdoor adventure scene, emphasizing inclusive, energetic activities that break the mold of traditional nature trips.

What makes this activity particularly special is the mix of physicality and ingenuity required, set within a beautiful, accessible English countryside locale. Beyond the lake’s edge, local wildlife and the natural landscape connect you to the rhythm of this quiet region.
