Guide Application
Riverside Outfitters is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, or disabling condition.
2025 Guide Training will take place on weekends in April….8 days total including on-the-water training and certification classes for CPR, First Aid and Swift Water Rescue.
There will be weekly “play days” as well to give you ample opprtunity to practice in a safe environment. You’ll need to plan on making most if not all of these play days…typically Wednesdays after work.
The total cost of guide training is $200 which covers all your training. You will receive $50 back when you check out as a commercial guide with us.
After you complete this application, we will contact you to set up an interview. Cheers!!
