AVA Rafting & Zipline

Looking for an exciting summer with one of Colorado’s outdoor industry jobs? Do you love being outside and active? AVA offers a wide variety of job opportunities each summer in Colorado. We are always looking for people who are energetic, enjoy being outdoors, and are hard-working team players to have an awesome summer of fun working as river guides and support staff. If you are not a person who takes pride in your job and wants to do something you are passionate about, we’re not the company for you. Our season generally runs from May until September, and we staff for that time. A few year-round positions are open, as well.

Colorado is home to the greatest whitewater rafting. Whether you’re interested in laid back and scenic or high adrenaline thrills; or you’re hoping to combine several different activities with your Colorado white water rafting trip, AVA can provide one or more options.

AVA offers exciting Colorado zipline trips at two locations: Idaho Springs, just 30 minutes from Denver, and Granite, located in the Arkansas River Valley just north of Buena Vista. Our zipline courses are some of the most unique in Colorado, with the platforms built into the natural landscape rather than on top of towers, and enhanced by various features such as the 50 foot free fall, a Surf Zip, a Race Zip, a variety of bridges, and much more!
