Love the outdoors and adventure? Ever thought of learning to be a whitewater raft guide?

Blue Sky Outfitters offers the top Guide Training course in Washington: a highly intensive, hands-on series of classes taught by some of the top whitewater river rafting guides in the state. Our goal is to produce a graduating class that will meet our high standards for our own guides as we hire many of our new guides from our guide training class. No previous experience is needed. This course is open to anyone who has good swimming ability. This course will teach you all that you need to know to begin guiding whitewater rafting trips and exceeds Washington State requirements for whitewater guide training.

Costs Tuition is $495.00.00 and includes river gear rental (wetsuit, neoprene booties, lifejacket, helmet), all necessary instructional materials and books. You'll also have access to supplemental training and rescue videos. A minimum of 50% of tuition is due upon signing up to hold your place. All fees are non-refundable.

Employment Our company is GROWING! If you're interested in a job as a whitewater guide, our first round of hiring each year is from the graduates of this class. We'll have part-time, full-time, and weekends-only positions available. In addition to graduating from our guide training course and demonstrating the ability to safely guide on your own, we look for individuals with a strong work ethic, great attitude, good people skills, and the ability to always be on time and ready to go. You must have a current drivers license and reliable vehicle. Having a passion for the river, and getting good marks in the course are a must in order to graduate. If you meet these requirements, we look forward to extending an offer to join our company!
