Beyond guides and drivers, OARS is taking applications for base operations support roles for the 2027 season, the behind-the-scenes crew that keeps its river outposts running, which the company describes as ranging from operations management to campground staff. Applicants can choose a location on the general application, including the American River at Lotus and Angels Camp in California, Vernal and Moab in Utah, the Grand Canyon, Grants Pass in Oregon, and Lewiston or Salmon in Idaho, or ask to be placed wherever they fit best. OARS does not post pay, housing or specific requirements for these jobs. Submit the general employment application on the OARS site; guide and driver candidates use separate forms.
