Idaho River Rescue  L.L.C

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to captain a raft and crew down a white water river? Have you ever wondered why the river reacts the way it does, or how to rig a boat, plan a trip, what to wear or how to deal with a river rescue? If so, then this is your opportunity to find out. 

Whether you want to be a weekend warrior, full time guide or just want to learn it for yourself so you can enjoy the many river miles Idaho has to offer, this course is for you.

This is a 10 day, intensive course that is aimed at preparing you to be a white water raft guide. Your first day, you take command of the guide stick and learn to maneuver your raft and crew down the river. We believe the only way to learn effectively is by doing.

You will be trained in a number of areas:

• Read & understand whitewater river hydrology & dynamics
• Dress for the river environment & weather conditions
• Command a crew down a whitewater river
• Rigging Rafts and Planing Trips
• Identify & use rafting & rescue equipment
• Scouting rapids and lining boats
  
• Assess Safety & Medical considerations
• Understand river ethics & etiquette (leave no trace)
• Cater to customers and provide river entertainment
