CBOC Guides

Chili Bar Outdoor Center Guides

Our highly trained guide staff is the primary feature that makes CBOC a great choice for whitewater adventure. Our guides are mature, conscientious professionals who come from diverse backgrounds: educators, business managers, engineers, bankers, journalists, and members of the U.S. Canoe and Kayak Team.

Our guide standards are rigorous and demanding. Most we train ourselves, and every trip is followed by a debriefing and critique. All of our guides are trained in First Aid, CPR, and River Rescue, and they have the experience and motivation to make your trip both pleasant and memorable. They are also some pretty darn good cooks, for those of you interested in our overnight trips!


MarkMark (Bay Watch Boy)
Though he graduated from college a number years ago, his summer job keeps calling him back. Mark is entering his 12th season with CBOC and invites you to a wild ride OR just a casual historic tour down the river. Your choice. When you see his green eyes, flowing brown hair, and beautiful body you'll know why they call him "Bay Watch".


AtillaAaron (Atilla)
He grew up in Coloma, CA. and started rafting back in the 80's. At CBOC his is surrounded by folks from Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia.... but the river doesn't care where you're from. It just keeps on moving and Aaron has learned a thing of two about piloting rubber boats in moving current. Besides being an art major in the final stages of a BA degree, he likes to think of himself as a seasonal superhero, who happens to enjoy the great outdoors and a paycheck. This will be his 7th season guiding for CBOC Whitewater.
