Raft Guide

**Raft Guide Employment Opportunities For The 2023 Season**:
Stellar Descents White Water is located in the Robson Valley, 20 minutes from Valemount, BC and 1 hour west of Jasper, AB. Stellar runs many classes of rivers from gentle scenic float trips to the most challenging rivers of the area. We offer daily rafting on three different rivers: The
Fraser River (Class 1 Scenic Float & Class 2-3 Family Rafting), The Beaver River (Class 4), and
The Dore River (continuous Class 4). Want experience expedition rafting also? We hold permits and raft the Babine & Skeena Rivers on 5-6 day expeditions in the fall.

We offer competitive pay and a fun, dynamic work environment. If you are a team player with excellent interpersonal skills, looking for the best summer job out there, we would like to hear from you Our Rafting season goes from mid May to the beginning/end of September based on expedition bookings.

**Work Life**
Stellar is a small company with a tightly knit crew. We enjoy working together on the river as a solid team, which is especially required for our Class 4 rivers. You can expect to have individualized training dependent on your previous experience level. All guides are trained for multiple runs on each river before they guide, and initially only experienced guides will guide the Beaver or Dore.

**After Work Life**
Depending on your budget, you can choose to rent your own accommodations in
Valemount/Tete-Jaune or we offer more cost effective guiding accommodations in Tete Jaune on a rural acreage, where there will be different forms of camping available. Further details regarding accommodations can be discussed during your interview.

In your spare time, you can take your pick of adventure sports in the area. The rivers we raft are also amazing to kayak or SUP. As well Valemount boasts a hidden gem, the local Valemount
Bike Park, where there are world-class mountain biking trails available. The Valemount
Climbing Club just opened a local bouldering wall and has bolted sport climbs located up the
Canoe river FSR. Endless hiking surrounds you, and Mount Robson - the tallest mountain in the
Canadian Rockies - is just 20 minutes away. Jasper National Park is also located 1 hour away,

where there is also mountain biking, hiking, and rock climbing available. The owners of Stellar
Descents are avid outdoor enthusiasts and can recommend the best spots to go.

We look forward to hearing from you.
