Full-Time or Part-Time Guides.

Full-time guides must be available to work on any day throughout the summer season... April through October unless you are in school. If you are in school, you must be available any day between school semesters. Full-time guides must also make themselves available for off-river work if requested. Scheduling preference is given to full-time guides. You are also eligible for performance bonuses.

Part-time guides are available on a more limited basis. If you can't commit to the above requirements, you'll be considered Part-Time. Part-timers must provide us with dates that they are available and make themselves such on the days agreed to. There is plenty of work for any part-timers on weekends and many weekdays, but our first preference is to give this work to our full-time staff. You are also eligible for performance bonuses if you complete at least 25 trips during the season.

Non-commital guides are available on a more limited basis. If you want to guide, but your schedule doesn't allow you to guarantee us any availability, you're considered non-commital. There is plenty of work for on weekends and many weekdays, but our first preference is to give this work to our full-time staff and part-time staff. Bonuses are not available for this position.

Which Training Session is best?

We have multiple spring time training sessions. The first session is held on weekends only and begins April 30, 2005. This session runs for three consecutive weekends. The other sessions begin Saturday May 14, 21, or 28, 2005. Unlike the earlier sessions, here we have classes every day. These session take about 1 week to complete. The state of West Virginia requires 12 training trips which can be completed in 6 days. We will offer additional classes as needed throughout the spring and summer. Dates will be arranged. Altough we do need some staff early and it gives you a "leg up" on later trainees, we only need a limited number. Most work is part-time until mid-June. Please keep this in mind if you plan to start early.
