Ottawa River Programs 2008
Whitewater Rafting Guide Programs 2008
Whitewater Rafting is one of the fastest
growing extreme adventure sports in North America. With more and more
rafting companies springing up every season there is a definite need for
qualified, well trained, and certified guides. Transport Canada has recently
put in place guidelines that are very specific about what qualifies a
competent and certified Raft Guide. The C.R.C. guide school and the level
two guide training will ensure that you meet the Transport Canada criteria.
Our guide schools are run on the Ottawa River, the foremost rafting river
of eastern Canada. Included in the course fee are all meals during your
program, camping at our Ottawa River base camp, and use of all of our
evening activities.
We open to the public for Ottawa River packages on the Victoria Day long weekend with our first Raft Guide course start day on Monday, May 26th. Call now to book your raft guide course!
