The Madawaska Kanu Centre is Canada's first whitewater resort for kayak and canoe instruction. We offer weekend and weeklong courses in whitewater kayaking and canoeing.

MKC’s Weekend Kayak Clinic is an introduction to the exciting world of whitewater kayaking. The course begins with students reviewing basic strokes on flatwater and then applying these skills in easy currents. By the end of the weekend you will be surfing, catching eddies and running Class II rapids. For the more experienced paddler and if time is a factor, use this course as a great whitewater refresher.

The 5-Day course provides the ideal amount of time to master new playboating, technical, and river running skills, as well as river reading and river safety competence. A great week of learning utilizing video analysis, and gates, with certification available. The guaranteed mid-week water releases on our front door section of the Madawaska River ensures a superb variety of Class I-IV rapids. We also offer speciality weeks geared to families, seniors, and women.

Enjoy all the comforts of our family-run wilderness resort! We offer healthy, hearty, and delicious meals to our students in our Swiss-style chalet. Students can stay in our individual cabins, lodge rooms or camp in our wooded campground.
