Hello,
My name is Bryce Wilson and I am a parks and recreation student at California University of Pennsylvania. I am looking for a summer internship being a river ranger or shadowing a river ranger. I was a raft guide this past summer on the lower Youghiogheny River. I am certified in swift water and outdoor first aid. I am very familiar with white water and have been white water kayaking for two years as well. If you could send me more information about this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again
