Professional Guide School on the Rogue River
Dates: May 17 - 24, 2008 (8 days)
Price: $795
Requirements: Sense of adventure, minimum age of 18, and application
The
Rogue's class III rapids are ideal for learning how to read water, maneuver
oar boats, and paddle inflatable kayaks. Our professional guide school
is intended for those with little or no river skills and are interested
in becoming a professional river guide. We'll cover river camps, cooking,
loading equipment, rowing oar boats, paddling inflatable kayaks, safety,
and much more.
Our first day will be spent at our Oregon guide house where we will have some off-river classes and load the gear for our river trip. We will then run the Rogue River for six days and learn the basics of guiding wilderness rivers. After finishing the river portion of the school, we will return to our guide house for a final day of classes and clean up.
"My school was the best rafting trip I've ever had. I learned a lot from my instructors and can't wait to put my new skills and knowledge to good use. No matter how many trips I end up doing, private or commercial, I will never forget this one. Everyone involved, students and instructors alike, added to a wonderful experience."

Our professional guide school is not for the faint of heart. We are looking for people with a strong work ethic and a desire to take on some amazing challenges in potentially cold weather. We will also have the time of our lives and meet some spectacular people!
