Buy Rafting Guide School:
Our Whitewater Rafting Guide School program is designed for the person who is planning to be a commercial guide. We also recommend that after the Guide School, all "wanna be" guides sign up for additional certification such as Advanced First Aid, Swift Water Rescue, Wilderness Responder and more river miles. Commercial river rafting companies look favorably upon employees who have this additional training.
Talented & promising students will be asked to go into our one-on-one training program. There is no additional cost for this extra training.
We recommend all 'Weekend Warrior' students sign up for three weekends. Weekend program covers the same material as the six-day sessions and is flexible for those who have regular jobs or school during the week.
Fees may be adjusted depending on participant's past experience. Ex: If you are a professional guide from a Class II river who is looking to upgrade your rafting skills, we may adjust your fee since you may not need the full six-day program. Please call our office for information.
We meet at the Camp Lotus location in Lotus, California, USA just 3 hours northeast of San Francisco or 2 hours southwest of Lake Tahoe.
ALL camping & meals are included during your instruction period only. International students should fly into San Francisco International. Sacramento International Airport is recommended for students traveling domestically. In California, we recommend Southwest Airlines for the least expensive plane fares. In the USA, we recommend JetBlue Airlines for inexpensive domestic flights. Arrange for a rental car or contact W.E.T. for a special airport pickup.
