  Level Three
  Type of Work: Multi-day Guiding
  Availability: I can be available from May to the end of September, or just July and August.
  Guiding Area Preferred: Available to work anywhere in Canada. I am a level 3 SKGABC kayak guide and level 1 Paddle Canada instructor. I am taking my level 2 instructor in early April. I would be willing to do some days and/or instruction. I have a BA in Child and Youth Care and currently working on my MA in CYC. An opportunity to complete a practicum would be great! (Need someone with an MA in a 'related' field to supervise me – a.k.a. check in on me.) Does your company work with children, youth, and/or families and want a guide with generous experience in this area?
