Co-Guide
At OWL, we believe that teamwork makes the drea… you get it. That’s why we assign two guides per group. To ensure you have the best experience as an OWL guide, we encourage you to indicate your preferred partner on the registration form (will be posted here and on our socials soon). If you have friends who would like to join as guides, we highly recommend encouraging them to sign up too. By doing so, we can ensure that we have enough staff to provide an outstanding experience for all participants.
If you’re unable to find a partner, there’s no need to worry! You can still register as a solo participant, and we’ll pair you up with a co-guide to form a dynamic and effective team. Our aim is to provide you with the best possible experience, so rest assured that we’ll do our best to match you with a compatible and enthusiastic co-guide.
