We're Looking For Guides

Come join us on the rapids!

Dear Potential Guide Trainee:

Our whitewater training session will be held from June 1 to June 8, 2008. The training will include Safety Techniques, River Etiquette, and Daily Procedures, River Rescue and lots and lots of whitewater rafting!!!! In short, everything you will need to pass the Maine Whitewater Rafting Guide Exam for the Kennebec River, except for CPR and Basic First Aid. These can be acquired through the Red Cross and must be completed prior to whitewater training.

The cost of the training will be $250.00. A $50.00 non refundable deposit is due with your application by April 1, 2008, with the balance of $200.00* due May 2, 2008. (*Your $200.00 training fee will be returned to you at the end of the 2008 whitewater rafting season (mid-October), if you train, receive your license and work for Magic Falls, which includes regularly scheduled work days and all big event days during the season.) This fee includes staying at Magic Falls Rafting campground, a training manual, and use of all needed equipment (wetsuits, life jacket, and paddle). You will be responsible for your meals. The training classes will be limited to 18, so if you are interested you should let us know right away.

After you have completed the guide training you will be ready to take the State exam for the Kennebec and Dead Rivers and become a Registered Maine Whitewater Guide (level I). Application and testing fee is $103.00. License fee is $90.00 for two years. Additional training is required for the Penobscot River (level II). As a Registered Maine Whitewater Guide you will be able to work for any rafting outfitter. However, we do ask you to train with us if you plan to work for our company. We prefer to hire the guides we train, as our program focuses on the high standards we require from everyone on our staff. Our guides earn $55.00 to $85.00 per day plus tips and dinner.

If you have any questions, or need more information, please call 207-873-5877.

Thank you,

Dave Neddeau
