Rapid River Rescue ™
Facing the unpredictable
An exciting whitewater rafting adventure which emphasizes effective project planning, coordination and communication in the face of unpredictable challenges.
Program concept
In general, the better you plan, the better you are prepared. But even the best laid plans can fall apart in the face of reality. Although it’s not always possible to predict what might happen in the future, it is possible to set up systems that will allow for multiple possibilities and cater for these. Although it can be easy to be tempted to give up when faced with an apparently insurmountable challenge, flexible planning and effective coordination and communication can make all the difference.
