Overview
Canada’s First School for Kayaks and Canoes
MKC’s combination of outstanding instruction, extraordinary meals and a stunning location is a formula that brings people back back year after year for Ontario canoeing trip vacations. Located in Canada just a few hours drive from the nation’s capital, close to Algonquin Park in the Ottawa Valley, MKC boasts world-class instructors who return every year to teach on the guaranteed warm whitewater of the Madawaska River.
Founded in 1972, the Madawaska Kanu Centre now hosts 1,500 paddlers every summer, introducing hundreds of new enthusiasts to the excitement of whitewater canoeing and kayaking. Under the direction of Claudia van Wijk, ten time national slalom kayaking champion, and her husband, Dirk, MKC offers two and five day instructional courses in whitewater canoeing and kayaking.
MKC is the perfect location for a learning vacation. With the Madawaska River flowing right past the front door, through a forest of pines and hardwoods and five other excellent whitewater runs all within an hours drive, including the Ottawa River with its two channels, the Petawawa River, Upper, Lower and Palmer sections of the Madawaska River, excellent whitewater is certain all summer long.
MKC’s superb meals satisfy every paddler’s hungry appetite and the choice of lodging is sure to fit anyone’s needs. Choose between a lodge room (based on double occupancy), a dorm room or one of the many campsites in the MKC’s campground. After a day of paddling take advantage of the sauna, ready and hot for you when you return or the hot outdoor showers.
MKC has a tradition to please the needs of every student. Don’t settle for anything less. Join the experts at the Madawaska Kanu Center and let them share their love of paddling with you this summer.
