Adventure Camp Rafting

"With a BrickScore of 72.6, Adventure Camp Rafting earns a solid recommendation as a fun, activity-packed Friends set with impressive variety for its size — but construction shortcuts like the BURP climbing wall, non-brick tent, and pre-formed raft keep it from being a standout build experience."

Reviewers broadly agree that Adventure Camp Rafting (41121) is a charming, playful Friends set that punches above its weight in terms of activity variety — packing rafting, rock climbing, camping, a campfire, and a bridge into a single 320-piece package. The vibrant summer color palette and abundance of thematic accessories (trophy, camera, torches, signpost, compass) earn consistent praise, as does the notably low amount of pink for a Friends set. However, critics flag some construction shortcuts — a pre-formed BURP rock-climbing wall, a non-brick tent using printed plastic sheets, and generic pale blue water rather than translucent pieces — that undercut the build experience. At ~$29.99, value is considered decent but not exceptional.

Where they split: Brickset's reviewer was notably more critical of the overall layout — calling the set "small and squished" with the raft element feeling undersized — while Zusammengebaut was more forgiving, emphasizing that "much is offered" for a set of this size. Both ultimately recommend buying, but Brickset hedges more on value for money.
