  • Naventure is seeking adventurous and safety conscious Lifeguards to join our team at Sliding Rock Recreation Area. This is no swimming pool or country club! Sliding Rock creates a fun, challenging, rewarding and unique work environment. We are also interested in talking with avid paddlers and swift water rescue technicians. This is a great opportunity for adventurers, rescue personnel, outdoor trip leaders and students alike. 

    Sliding Rock Recreation Area is an iconic location and activity in the heart of Pisgah National Forest. Sliding Rock is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, 7 days a week from 9am to 6pm. 

    Sliding Rock is a 60-foot natural water slide, where visitors come to experience this unique natural attraction and feel some adrenaline in a once in a lifetime adventure. This is cold and fast-moving whitewater. The pool is 8-10 feet deep in some places and much of the pool is 6 feet or less and allows guards and visitors to stand. 

    Lifeguards are responsible for following Naventure and USFS protocol, managing the overall safety of the visitors and creating a low risk, welcoming and enthusiastic environment for visitors and staff alike. Lifeguards monitor the pool and surrounding areas, manage risk, engage with, and instruct visitors, provide first aid, manage emergencies and work with local rescue agencies. 

    If you do not have a Lifeguard certification, we are happy to help. At Naventure, we reimburse Lifeguards for their certification course after 30 days of employment.
