About the role
GUIDE TRAINING
Train to be a professional whitewater rafting guide! Our guide training program is rigorous, thorough and fun! The training begins in mid May and takes three weeks. We teach you the technical skills, strokes and maneuvers necessary to become a proficient whitewater rafting guide.
What We Look For
- Physical Fitness & River Experience: Guiding is physically demanding. We look for candidates who are fit, capable, and have documented time on moving water — not just a class, but real river experience.
- Love of the Outdoors: This isn't just a job — it's a lifestyle. We want people who genuinely love being on the river and bring that energy to every guest they guide.
- Great with Guests: Our guides are the face of Liquid Descent. Strong communication, patience with beginners, and the ability to make people feel safe and excited are essential.
What You Get
- World-Class Rivers: Work on some of the best whitewater in Colorado — Clear Creek and the Colorado River are genuinely special places to spend a season.
- Competitive Pay: We pay competitive seasonal wages that reflect the skill and responsibility our guides bring to every trip.
- Gear Provided: All guide gear — helmet, PFD, wetsuit, drysuit when needed — is provided and maintained by us. You show up ready; we've got you covered.
- A Real Team: Liquid Descent is built on people who genuinely love what they do. You'll join a crew that supports each other on and off the water.
