I've been teaching rappelling for about 10 years. I work with Girl Scouts, at a residential treatment center for teens in trouble, with other school groups, and also with a few adult groups.

I'm wondering what other people get paid to do this. I don't own the equipment or provide the insurance, but I maintain all of the gear and logs, get myself retrained ocassionally, recruit and train my belayers, and make almost all of the plans for how each group can get the most out of their lessons.

I usually charge $100 to $150 a day. I suspect that is low, but I live in an economically slow area and work is sporadic. I'm just wondering so I can let the people that pay me know what a deal they are getting, and also to help me think if I should charge more.

I've tried searching the web for this info, but my job title seems to be below the radar. Any input is really appreciated.
