Paddling Guides and Instructors - part time
Part-time guides are often apprenticing or interning while growing their outdoor leadership and sea kayaking skills. Staff may also be part-time if working with Lost Creek while holding down another job or taking college classes. Part time guides run day trips and assist full-time staff on longer trips.

Qualifications expected are the same as for Full-time staff though lower levels of paddling ability are to be expected at first.
