The Adventure River Center
offers several different river guide instructional packages. Our seven-day
school takes place on three different rivers in the Pacific Northwest and
serves as an exceptional foundation for potential professional guides and
private river runners looking to learn skills needed to take family and friends
rafting. Our two and three-day mini river guiding seminars provide families and
friends with great insights into guiding basics and serves as a stepping stone
to raft guiding. |
The McKenzie River is a
perfect river on which to learn how to kayak. Long calms on the river allow
students to get comfortable in the kayak on a river. Entry level rapids provide
opportunities to discover ferrying and getting in and out of eddies. And the
fun and playful class III rapids help students refine new skills.
