Employment with Wild River Adventures
Greetings to Prospective Staff:
Becoming a guide or office employee at our company is a 3-stage process.

management staff. While we prefer all interviews to be
conducted in person, we can set up phone interviews
for prospective staff who live out of the area.

attend a guide school and orientation from May 31st
-June 4th(There is no charge to attend this school).
If the candidate completes the school and passes all
the required written and physical tests, they will be
hired on a provisional basis.

commercially, and pass a skills test. Guides who do
not have previous commercial guiding experience will
be required to run 300 river miles and pass a skills
test before they are eligible to run commercial trips.
Guides are expected to have their own PFD (life

any equipment, you will be eligible to purchase items
on a pro deal basis.
