Whether you're looking for summertime work as a white water rafting guide on the American River or just want to learn how to take your family white water rafting, River and Rock Adventures' guide school is the perfect solution. Our easy three-weekend schedule makes setting aside the time easy, and our cost is hard to beat. Our friendly and talented staff of guides will be around to help train you with not only techniques they have learned from River and Rock Adventures, but in some cases with different ideas and techniques learned from around the globe.
