Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a summer rafting Colorado—and getting paid for it? Now’s your chance! Wilderness Aware Rafting is currently accepting applications for Colorado white water rafting guides for the 2012 summer season.
We’re looking for guides with curiosity, a love of the outdoors, and a dedication to providing our clients with top-of-the-line service. If you’re a team player who loves exceeding client’s expectations and having a great time on the water, we want to hear from you. We believe that our application process is one of the most involved and informed of any Colorado rafting company in the country—which means we can make sure that you are the best fit for us, and we are the best fit for you. If it turns out we are not the rafting company for you, our hiring process occurs early enough in the season for you to be able to find work at another rafting company—something we’re happy to assist you with.
If you don’t have any experience rafting in Colorado, great! We give new guides 3 to 4 weeks of intensive training so they have a solid foundation to build from as the season begins. Beginners also have an edge while applying—Wilderness Aware prefers individuals with a love of learning and an open mind to experienced guides with commercial rafting experience. Whether you just love to spend weekends on the water or you’re a seasoned professional, we’d like to hear from you and see whether you can be a member of our 2012 guide team.
As a Wilderness Aware guide, we will teach you everything you need to know—from knot tutorials to the mechanics of Royal Gorge rafting. Our in-depth interview process culminates in a 5-day rafting trip, where our guides can show you the ropes and watch you in action. We give applicants a discounted rate for this multi-day trip so all parties can be clear on what the duties of a Wilderness Aware raft guide are and whether applicants are comfortable carrying those out.
If you’re looking for an adventure this summer, apply for one of our rafting guide positions. Remember that if you are hired, you must be in Colorado and ready to train no later than May 20, 2012. Guides are also required to be certified in CPR and First Aid. Take the first step towards your summer of whitewater rafting Colorado and fill out a rafting guide application today!
