All guides, whether trainees or experienced will be expected to complete our company training program, which complies with state and national park requirements. Most experienced guides will need only a week to complete the required training. Trainees must expect on going training for at least the first three months, although qualification to do our easiest trip is attainable within the first week or so. All guides are expected to have basic river equipment or purchase them upon arrival. All guides must have certification in CPR and a 40 hour first aid course or be willing to get the certifications within a reasonable time frame.
Classes here are few and far between.
