Madawaska Kanu Centre
Madawaska Kanu Centre Canada’s First White Water School for Kayaks and Canoes Welcome to MKC Pack your paddle and plan to join us this summer for another great season of adventure on the water. Whether you’re a beginner or ready to go pro, we’ll help you improve your skills in an atmosphere of fun and friendship. Choose a 5-Day Whitewater Course or try one of our Weekend Clinics and discover why MKC is not just another Paddling School. It is a unique, Whitewater Vacation Centre. Started in 1972 by my parents, MKC is now internationally rated as one of the best paddling schools worldwide. Our instructors come from all over the world, returning here each year, back by popular demand. They all have a love for the sport and a keen interest in sharing it with others. They tell us the Madawaska is an ideal learning river — with its warm and clean currents and remote wilderness settings. We realize your holiday time is precious. We have a tradition to please the need of every student. So don’t settle for anything less. Join us this summer. Claudia & Dirk Van Wijk A Complete Vacation Centre The Madawaska River The Madawaska River is justly celebrated as one of the best places in North America to learn whitewater skills. Flowing past our front door, through a forest of pines and hardwoods, the river’s supply of dam-controlled water is warm, clean, and dependable all summer long. We’ve been paddling here for more than 30 years and know every sluice and eddy. The river is a series of rapids and pools, alternating places to play and rest. Rapids like Staircase, Chalet, Gravelpit, Cottage, and Claudia’s Roller range from an easy Class I to a manageable Class IV. During class hours, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) releases a generous flow over the top of the dam upstream, filling the riverbed with warm water from the surface of the lake. In mid summer the river temperature is 20° C (70° F). Within an hours drive are five other excellent whitewater runs, including the Ottawa River with it’s two channels, the Petawawa River, Upper , Lower & Palmer sections of the Madawaska River, which we will visit depending on flow, season and skill levels. A Typical Day at MKC Start the day with a stroll through the woods, a quick jog, or a dip in the River before breakfast. Classes start at 9 am. Break at noon for a buffet lunch. Instruction resumes until around 4 pm, when our shuttle vans return you to the Centre. Unwind with some social time on the deck, comparing river stories over coffee, juice, and a freshly baked snack. Or take a sauna — we make sure it’s hot when you return. The dinner bell chimes at 6 pm, and, aside from an hour of informal classroom time after supper, the rest of the evening is yours. During our 5-Day course, we spend Wednesday afternoon at our Bark Lake Beach. It’s a casual diversion from class, where you can test-drive different boats, play volleyball, or just relax in the sun — master the art of doing nothing. We serve dinner on our outdoor grill, and there is usually a guitar for some lake-side echoes. We make every effort to ensure that your experience is one of personal fulfillment and physical achievement. MKC offers an exhilarating adventure packed with sun, fun, fresh air, and companionship. Relax. This is your vacation. Food and Lodging Paddlers need good food. MKC is famous for its cuisine. A hearty buffet breakfast awaits you every morning. You can eat out on the deck as the sun’s rays warm you or come in and take a fire-side chair. Lunch: buffet-style in our adjoining log pavilion hot off the fire. The Dinner Bell rings at 6 p.m. for a wonderful evening feast. All our meals are home-made with fresh ingredients, highlighted with herbs from our own garden. We offer three types of accommodations: lodge rooms (based on double occupancy), dormitory lodging, or a tent site at our wooded campground. Our modern washhouse, hot showers, laundry facilities, and sauna are available to all students. The MKC Chalet Centre of Activity Our two-storey Swiss-style Chalet is the MKC Centre of Activity, home to games, music, and our library of books and videos about the sport. The Chalet is also the start of a web of trails for running, hiking, and mountain biking. Outside we have a volleyball court and a screened-in log pavilion with a large fireplace. Taking A Class Which Class Is Best For You? Are you enthusiastic, adventurous, and in good physical shape? That is all you need, we will provide the rest. MKC is an adult centre (17 and older), but we offer Family Weeks & Weekends where 10 and older can participate amongst their peers, while parents are challenged in their own classes. 5-Day Courses Our 5-Day courses are our most popular. They are for people who want to combine a vacation with learning. And learn they do - a rank Beginner usually ends the course as a confident whitewater paddler, Eskimo roll and all! Experienced paddlers are divided into skill level groups of similar abilities from Intermediate to Advanced, to develop their comfort level and to be introduced to new challenges. 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 - leading to diplomas recognized worldwide. The guaranteed mid-week water releases on our front door section of the Madawaska River ensures a superb variety of Class I - IV rapids. Advanced paddling groups will make day trips to a variety of other rivers in our immediate vicinity. Each evening enjoys additional dry land sessions that complement the days learning.The last day of the course gives you the chance to test and enjoy your newly acquired paddling skills as we descend on a full-day trip down one of five great rivers. Weekend Clinic Our weekend clinic is our introduction to whitewater, or if time is a factor, a great refresher clinic for the more experienced paddler. This course will lay a foundation of basic skills and river safety in Class I - II rapids - add to this MKC's hospitality and you have the perfect start to your new sport. Sport Canoeing Tandem or Solo The Open Canoe is all but synonymous with Canada. Paddling flatwater or portaging rapids are skills and experiences widely enjoyed. But for many, the spirit of adventure beckons farther. And as we search for new canoe routes we find the river systems of Temagami, The Bay, Atikaki, Labrador and the North West Territories are the ultimate canoe tripping challenge. But are we prepared to paddle whitewater? How often have you stood on the portage, wistfully watching the rapids, wondering if you dare try running that stretch of whitewater? Not even sure if the rapid is runnable. At the Madawaska Kanu Centre, we have designed a program specifically for the canoeist interested in learning the skills, techniques, and safety required to paddle Class II to III and even IV whitewater — we call this Sport Canoeing. In our Weekend Clinic we will introduce you to Class I and II whitewater skills; adapting flatwater strokes to whitewater, entering and breaking out of eddies, forward and reverse ferries, safety and rescue, and much more. The Weekend Clinic covers the fundamentals to Whitewater Canoeing. ORCA Level I is attainable. For Best Value we offer the 5-Day Course. Canoeists are divided into small skill level groups as per paddling ability. Then you proceed on to learning and perfecting all strokes and river manoeuvres. We teach Tandem Canoeing as well as Solo for those who like to take to the currents on their own. You should have some flatwater experience prior to attending MKC. You will learn river reading and river running skills, safety and rescue techniques and be introduced to rope rescues. For the more daring, we show you how to surf and ride holes. Video analysis and gatework compliment your course.This program is a good primer for those planning extended whitewater trips during the season. The Solo Canoe is the most challenging whitewater craft, making it necessary for you to have previous whitewater tandem experience before embarking in a solo canoe. Paddle Canada and ORCA Moving Water Level I and II certificates as well as MKC diplomas are attainable in the 5-Day Course. Kayaking makes your heart pound and your toes tingle. It’s a fast, exploding, roller-coaster kind of ride and best of all you do it solo. The ideal craft for whitewater, the Kayak is sleek, manoeuvrable, fast and has a unique feature - it can be righted when capsized by doing the Eskimo Roll. When starting out in whitewater, we strongly recommend taking your first course in a Kayak. Your skills are easily transferable to either the Open Canoe or Sea Kayak. Choose a 5-Day Kayak Course or try one of our Weekend Clinics and discover why MKC is a world renowned Kayak School. In our Weekend Clinic you begin on flatwater, learning how to go forward and backwards, turn, brace and you will be introduced to the Eskimo Roll. Soon you will apply these skills in easy currents, practising eddy turns, front and back ferries and wave surfing. For more experienced paddlers use the 2-Day clinic to refresh your skills. Tanya Faux Team TEVA Freestyle World Champion In the 5-Day Course kayakers are first divided into separate skill level groups. As you master each stage, you will gradually be exposed to more challenging grades of whitewater. “Ich Bin Der Beste!” Top off the week by attempting to join our world-renowned “Ich bin der Beste” board. How do you join? Twirl your paddle three times over your head and shout, “Ich bin der Beste!” — while surfing Gravelpit Hole on the Madawaska. You’ll earn a special T-shirt and immortality on the wall of the MKC Chalet. Started in 1972, the board now boasts more than 400 members, including, we’re proud to say, many world-champion paddlers. Join the club! For Beginners we start on flatwater with the basic strokes, as outlined in the Weekend Clinic on facing page. A full week allows you time to learn, practice, and perfect these skills, making you a confident novice Kayaker in Class II whitewater. Novice, Intermediate and Advanced students will be seperately challenged by the Madawaska’s fantastic eddies and surfing waves and many hydraulics, in Class II to Class IV rapids. There are several easily accessible playspots to be introduced to or perfect those dazzling freestyle moves. Slalom gates are strung across our swift Chalet Rapids, as well as over our flatwater pool. Gates teach the kind of precision paddling that helps you avoid real obstacles on a river. (Just ask an MKC alumnus). You will also learn river reading skills, safety and rescue procedures and enjoy evening video analysis of your progress on the water. The last day of the course is spent running and playing one of five local rivers. Paddle Canada River Kayak Level I and II certificates as well as MKC diplomas are attainable in our 5-Day Courses. Outfitters Store Our recently expanded Outfitting store has everything a whitewater paddler needs, from paddling equipment to nose plugs and MKC souvenirs. We rent the complete package — solo and tandem open canoes, kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, sprayskirts, helmets and wetsuits— and everything is available for purchase in the store as well. If you’re bringing your own boat, canoes must have bow and stern flotation bags, 10-foot bow and stern painters, and we strongly recommend thigh braces and knee pads. Kayaks must have grab loops, and stern flotation bags. Instructors We’re very lucky. Because of our long-time involvement with the international paddling community, and because paddlers love to train on the warm, reliable Madawaska, the world’s best come to teach at MKC. They include Tanya Faux, Andrew Westwood, Paul Mason, Sarah Boudens, Billy Harris, Jeffy Johnson, Kent Ford and Ken Whiting - Sorry, we can't name you all. Yet our instructors are more than World champs. They are sensitive, experienced teachers and you will like them. Sea Kayaking The addition of Sea Kayaking instruction to MKC’s paddling program is a natural progression for us. This program is perfect for paddling enthusiasts who would like to kayak but not venture into the adrenaline rushing whitewater. Sea kayaking focuses on the calmer elements of lake, sea and ocean paddling and the freedom these places have to offer. MKC is offering weekend introductory courses leading to Flatwater and Sea Kayaking Level 1 Paddle Canada Certificates. The undisturbed remote waters of Bark Lake have sheltered bays with sandy beaches and large expanses of open water with exposed shoreline that are ideally suited for Sea Kayak instruction. Our instructors will cover rescue, navigation, and paddling skills - readying you for venturing out on your own.
