Overview
Our Raft Guide position is great for accomplished boaters looking for a unique Alaskan experience. This role stands out from typical raft guiding positions in that our raft guides also lead glacier hikes, and historical town tours, and get a diverse range of outdoor experiences beyond traditional rafting duties. Most raft guides come back for at least 2 seasons, but opportunities to guide our multi-day rafting, backpacking, and flatwater packrafting trips can keep many of our guides coming back for more!
Qualifications:
● Having experience living in rustic and communal environments is preferred but not required. ● You must have current Wilderness First Responder and CPR certifications by the first day of training that do not expire until after the end of your contract. ● Experience rowing Class 3 rivers in an oar boat. ● Preferably previous raft guiding experience and a Swift Water Certification
Preferred Skills:
Previous Raft Guiding experience
