FREQUENT RAFTER PROGRAM
Our greatest compliment is when our guests return for another raft trip. All of our guests receive our 'Frequent Rafter' card for discounts on their future rafting trip with us. It is our way of thanking our valued guests.This is a non-transferable offer.

RIVER GUIDE TRAINING PROGRAM
We are proud to have developed a rigorous guide training program. The program is ten days of actual training, usually with a day off sometime in the middle, on several rivers. During the class we will have a couple of nights camping where everyone chips in for food and camping fees. Upon completion of Colorado state requirements and a "successful" check-out run down the river, you can obtain Colorado State Certification to be a professional whitewater rafting guide. Certification and getting a job are not guaranteed. We often hire from our training classes, people who excel on and off the water. Space is limited. $500.00 per person.

Our class is offered at Red Rocks Community College class number PER 153. When taking the class through Red Rocks you will receive 2 credits, pay Red Rocks’ class fees, and then you will only pay us $250 for the week of 'on the River' training. 2010 class on the river will be held May 17 through May 23.
