Thank
you for your interest in working at Lakota River Guides. We are very
proud of the quality of services we provide and our commitment to
excellence. Lakota's Raft Guide School and Training program exceeds
State requirements. Most companies only meet minimum standards. Safety
first at Lakota!
We provide an environment where people feel safe, comfortable and
are able to relax and enjoy their adventure. Many of our guests have
been coming back year after year due to the wonderful experience they
have had on the river with us.
Lakota requires all guides be at least 18 years of age and
maintain a minimum of 1st Aid and CPR certification
(or equivalent). Guides must have a professional attitude and be willing
to learn and accept new ideas. Initiative is highly valued.
Guides must work long hours during rush periods and should not be
subject to burnout and moodiness. They must work well
under pressure and be team players. It is important to note
that the position you are applying for includes many facets. Customer
service is the most obvious and very important; however your duties
will also include: safety procedures, rigging and de-rigging, maneuvering
boats in flat water and whitewater, loading and unloading equipment,
cleaning and repairing boats and equipment, completing paperwork,
conforming to all government agency regulations, following company
policies, risk management and providing first aid, cooking and related
food services, river rescue, entertaining guests, interpretation of
the geology, history, flora and fauna, working outdoors in various
weather conditions.
By far this is one of the best jobs in the Rocky Mountains so if you
are ready and willing, join the best at Lakota Guides |
