Medical Qualifications:
Hiring preference is given to guides who have an up to date
Wilderness First Aid Card or better. Guides are required to
have a current CPR and First Aid Card because they are not
allowed to operate in the State Parks system or National
Parks system without one. If you do
not have this when you arrive for work, you will
not be able to work until you do.
Training:
We highly recommend, at a minimum, a BCU 2Star certification
(representing beginning skill levels) or ACA Certification.
Hiring preference will be given to employees meeting these
certification standards. All kayak guides must demonstrate
satisfactory rescue skills, paddle float re-entries, and
will be assessed on how well they give kayak lesson courses.
Guides who are not able to pass this probationary testing
period will not be retained. |
