Our Staff

Our team makes the Dream!

Friends

Every summer is a family reunion as the MaLode whitewater guides return from their adventures in the off-season.

We always look forward to sharing stories about travels in Latin America, Asia, New Zealand and even Antarctica! As curious as they are adventurous, many of our staff have attained or are pursuing advanced degrees in subjects as diverse as environmental studies, creative writing, neuroscience, and nursing. Gourmet cooks, artists, educators—just scratch the surface, and you’ll discover that our whitewater guides and other staff have a wealth of talents and experiences to share.

We’re Hiring!
