About Guide Week
It started when Colorado River School owner Lyle Phetteplace asked if he could have a reunion for his past 30 years of kayak instruction staff. We offered a 50% discount in exchange for in good faith word of mouth guest referrals and to possibly meet our next Chile adventure travel guides. Everyone wins.
The daily kayaking andd/or adventure trips are treated like normal trips with accommodations, meals, daily adventures, and nightly celebreations of our failures and successes.
What’s the Catch?
We’re so proud of our product that we believe the more pros that experience it the more guests we will have. PKR is offering pros compensated employment and attractive commissions via our individual guest referral opportunities (iGRO plan). In short, the retreat provides legals, trip infrastructure, training, and riverside facilites. You invite your guests and we compensate you for referrals and guide pay.
Recruiting and Retaining Team Buena Onda. Part of PKR’s sustainable business plan is to recruit and retain person’s of high character and professionalism. This is the pros pathway to get started and paid immediately. Is it free? No, pros secure their compensation and access to the retreat via referrals. Don’t want to join the iGRO plan. No worries. You can still receive 50% discounts for Guide Week.
What skills qualify you to guide in Chile? Our guides and instructors must be trained on the level of adventure they choose to lead. We often pair our international guides with domestic certified guides to meet municipal mandates. Yet, we can still overemploy and offer you compensation based on iGRO definitions. Gainful employment is based on the referrals of your guests not ours. So, if you refer packrafters or beginner kayakers then we’ll train you to guide packraft and beginner kayak trips.
How much does Guide week cost? Trip prices vary based on the particular trip and the lodging a guest chooses. Qualified guide-instructors will receive a 50% DISCOUNT from the trip and lodging they select.
How to GET the KAYAK INSTRUCTOR DISCOUNT approval? You have 3 options:
1. Complete the KAYAK INSTRUCTORS FORM to apply for 50% DISCOUNTS.
2. Can I apply for discounts for other trips? Ideally, kayak instructors join for this one special week of kayaking dedicated to professionals. Complete the KAYAK INSTRUCTORS FORM and send us an email with your personal situation.
