Maine River Guide Training This course is designed to make all dedicated participants proficient in all the necessary skills to be a safe, knowledgeable, and entertaining Registered Maine Guide. These areas of training include boatmanship, river geography, hydrology, rescue techniques, guest service, risk management, equipment care, outdoor trip logistics, and more.

All trainees must have current Basic First Aid and CPR or higher certification previous to the start of training. Every year Three Rivers hosts an Basic First Aid Course.
