Nantahala Outdoor Center hires raft guides for a spring-to-fall season running 7 March to October 2027 across rivers in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, including the Nantahala, French Broad, Pigeon, Ocoee and Chattooga. Guides run rafts through rapids, give safety talks and keep guests entertained, and handle loading, gear and equipment care. The listing says no experience is required but prior guiding or guide school is preferred. Rustic campground-style cabins are shared with a roommate. Pay is 4,500 to 8,000 dollars per season plus tips. To apply, email the employer.
