Employment at The River Company
River Guide
The River Company is looking for a few amazing river guides to work day trips on the Upper Main Salmon River. We are located in beautiful Stanley, Idaho. We work together, play together, and are a family for three to four months a summer. We strive to hire outstanding people recognizing that guides are the most important factor in providing the excellent river trips that The River Company is known for.
Good guides are social creatures. We can teach you how to run a boat. We can't teach you how to calm a frightened mother and child, understand how to handle unique groups with style, or just be plain fun. We look for guides who can engage strangers, can make nervous families laugh, and who can enable people to let go and enjoy the beauty of a day messing around in boats. Good guides understand the value of a job that allows them to be on a river every day. Good guides are humbled by rivers, draw energy from them, and share it with lucky people that for the most part have never floated them before.
