2010 WHITEWATER RAFT GUIDE SCHOOL

Each year we receive many inquiries from college students and others seeking summer employment in the rafting industry. We always need river guides and we invite those with previous rafting experience to send a resume to us. If you do not have rafting experience, then it is necessary to go through a guide's school to obtain the proper training.
Our guide's school will be in May for 6 days followed by an optional 1-day graduation trip on a different river. Please call for dates.

Hi Jon,
We just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with our trip with American Whitewater this past weekend (we were part of a larger group). Our group included 4 young children and all of them absolutely LOVED it. The food, campsite and the all the staff were awesome!

We're from orange county and even though the drive up there was long, your guides/staff definitely made up for it. We will definitely be back every year. But we will make our trip longer, at least two days...one day of rafting is not enough!

We especially LOVED our guide, Shawn, so please give him an extra thanks and pat on the back from us. He is an EXCELLENT guide and we ask that as long as he is with you, we get Shawn as our guide (even if he doesn't have fun with us, hehe).

Thanks again and we'll see you guys again next year (or sooner)!

A.& M. J.


A NOTE ON 2009 RIVER FLOWS

Water releases on the South and Middle Forks of the American River are controlled by upstream hydroelectric dam facilities. They provide water for electrical power, irrigation, and drinking for residents of California. The reservoirs are close to being full to the brim from last year's rainfall and this year's current snowpack so our dam-controlled rivers, the South & Middle Forks, will provide exciting whitewater rafting all summer.
We expect the 2009 rafting season to be very good.

If you have any questions give us a call. We look forward to seeing you on the river.
