Mad River Guide School

Snake River Canyon, Wyoming

Here at Mad River we take pride in the fact that our guides are highly trained in whitewater rafting and safety skills, as well as professionalism on the river. Every spring we offer a five-day guide school taught on the Snake River. This class is designed to teach individuals basic whitewater skills. Although this class is tailored for those individuals seeking employment, it is a great course for anyone wishing to learn the basics of whitewater rafting.

The skills covered during this week will include the following: Introduction to boat navigation with oars & paddles, safety skills on the river, hydrology and boat maintenance.

Guide school is largely a hands-on learning environment. Some class time is spent at the Mad River Wedge, our boathouse, but the majority of time will be spent in the Snake River Canyon on the Snake River.

If you are interested in participating in guide school, please download the application and a guide school brochure.
