Mariah Campus Our intensive American River Whitewater Rafting Guide School is a six-day workshop designed for those wishing to gain employment as commercial river guides and private rafters wanting to gain knowledge and increase their skills of safe rafting techniques for their own use. Emphasis is placed on learning to read whitewater, Class III-IV safety techniques, swift water rescue, boat handling, camp cooking, river safety and conservation, and the methods of providing an excellent, safe, and fun river trip. Many of our students just want to be on the river for six days! Professional Educators The Commercial River Guide Course is conducted by several of the Mariah Wilderness Expeditions' top core guides who have been professionally training new guides for many years. Basic instruction will be given at Mariah's campground on the South Fork American River one hour east of Sacramento in the Sierra foothills. The South Fork is 21 miles in length and has over 50 rapids - each offering a unique learning opportunity. It is considered the best river in California on which to develop guiding skills. Evenings will be spent in a "classroom-like setting", learning more details about river anatomy, knots, first aid and repair, rigging oar boats, etc. Each participant completing and passing the course will receive a Certificate of Completion. |
