ROW Adventures

 Each year ROW seeks to hire a motivated individual interested in sharing the wonders of nature with children and families in an outdoor adventure setting. The River Jester assists ROW's guide staff on all "Family Magic™" trips on the Salmon River Canyons each summer, trips designed for families with children ages five to 14. River Jesters join an experienced staff of fun-loving, thoughtful and talented outdoor professionals with a tremendous passion for the natural world. In addition to Swamper duties (see Swamper Job Description for more information), the Jester leads a range of activities and games for children and families while in camp, activities that are primarily oriented toward learning more about nature. Being a River Jester can be hard, physically demanding work. Yet it is also immensely rewarding. The River Jester spends the summer traveling on the cargo raft down beautiful whitewater-filled river canyons, interacting with people from all over the world and sharing the wonder of nature with children and families.
