Whitewater Boating School: Scheduled over an 4 intense day in early May, and taking place on the finest whitewater rivers in the West! The course is designed for those seeking true adventure, comprehensive instruction, potential summer employment opportunities as river guides and boat owners wanting to hone in their boating skills.
The course is conducted on our Oregon and Northern California Rivers: These rivers offer some of the most diverse & complete whitewater rafting opportunities in the world. The week will be spent camping in a wilderness setting along the river, running a river everyday. High Country chooses not to try to go to more than 2-3 rivers during this course since with experience we end up spending more time in the vans than on the water. Instead, we set up one or two base camps and stay there for the duration. These rivers offer whitewater experiences from class I-II up to class V. There are only a few locations in the Northwest where all these levels can be experienced on the same river, and we choose our locations to utilize this, for maximum exposure to our students. This course offers you the opportunity to experience every water level classification with an extraordinary 1:4 instructor student ratio. We are confident this will be more than just an amazing learning adventure, but a lifelong memory as well. Days do not only consist of running rivers, but also engaging in a wide array of boating exercises. In the evening, relax around the warmth of the campfire while practicing various knots and rope work, and enacting land based scenarios such as camp setup and guest hospitality. This course is highly recommended for all first year future High Country Expeditions guides, and for anyone else interested learning how to navigate their boat on bigger waters. We are confident that this course will lay the groundwork for anyone seeking to become a professional river guide. A Certification of completion is provided and class size is limited. We will also assist those interested in finding work as river guides for the upcoming rafting season, either with High Country Expeditions or one of our many partner Outfitters in the Northwest. The cost of this 4 day course is $450.00. This includes all meals, travel, instructors, instructions, literature, all boating equipment and necessary gear and maximum river and captaining time.

We look forward to sharing an exciting and educational river adventure with you! |
