River Guide Schools and Instruction 
Canyon Marine River Guide School -
A twelve-day intensive whitewater workshop starting May 12, 2008.
The school's aim is the development of commercial river guiding skills.
We provide instruction in both oar and paddle
rafts.
The course covers river dynamics and reading water, river safety and
self-rescue, steering and strokes, ropes and knots, and expedition behavior.
The course is a demanding but exhilarating experience, suitable for those
who wish to work as a guide in the rafting business or for those who
simply want to hone their personal skills.
The 2008 course will start on May 12th.
12 day course $350
Canyon Marine does offer one-on-one oarboat instruction for those seeking some intensive help on improving their rowing abilities. The Arkansas River has an incredible number and diversity of rapids to learn from and these one-on-one trips can be a tremendous learning experience for the private boater who wants to brush up on their skills. These trips are booked on an as-needed basis throughout the year and the cost is $225/day (up to three students per boat).
