Raft Guides
 Positions available.
Presently we have available trip leader and raft guide positions. Our criteria for selecting guides is based as much on personality, amiability, and people skills as on whitewater skills and experience.
We are always looking for bright, honest, conscientious, amiable, guides to work both full time and part time. If you've worked as a guide in BC or elsewhere, and you feel you have what it takes to become a Kumsheen Guide or Trip Leader, let us know by filling out the employment questionnaire or send an email to employment@kumsheen.com.
We require that all of our new river guides participate in our Raft Guide Training School so we can better get to know you and evaluate your skills. It's important to us that we hire team players and the guide school allows us to choose the best team possible.
Whitewater Rafting Guides - With No Experience
If you are interested in guiding for us, but have little or no rafting experience, our Raft Guide Training School is the perfect way to learn about guiding.
Motor Raft Guide Training
We select students from our Guide School and invite them to continue training on motorized rafts for an additional 12 day period (we do not charge anything for this additional training).
When our senior staff feel that you are technically skilled enough to run the river with guests, and represent Kumsheen's standards, goals and philosophies, you'll be able to start work as a member of the Kumsheen team. The time it takes to train varies among individuals.
Our rafting season commences May 1st and finishes at the end of September.
Restaurant Staff
Servers
One position available starting June 25th to September 6th.
Servers are not only providers of food but are also ambassadors, salespersons and representatives of Kumsheen as a whole. Guest experiences are strongly influenced by the service they receive in the restaurant. The successful candidate should possess a pleasant, calm and friendly manner; have a good memory; display initiative; exhibit innovation, creativity, and flexibility; and have a winning attitude. Solid experience with good references and a “Serving it Right” (or the equivalent) certificate is required.
Become a Kumsheen Team Member
If you think you'd be a great Kumsheen Team Member, we'd be delighted to hear from you. We're always looking for interesting, talented people we feel would make the Kumsheen experience even more memorable for our guests.
As you can imagine, we're particular about who we choose! To help us learn a bit more about you, please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. (Your responses will be treated as confidential.)
