The facility has been lovingly maintained and was peacefully beautiful. The food was great: abundant, fresh, flavourful and healthy. Customer service is clearly a priority as all the staff from the instructors, administration and food services were smiling, accommodating and helpful.

Located on a great section of the Madawaska river, MKC provides outstanding instruction in paddling white water (kayak and canoe), as well as good food. Kinda like summer camp for adults.

I went down a class 2 rapid paddling from the stern! I've never paddled from the stern before, let alone going down a rapid. Loved the vegetarian food! Spanakopita, vegetarian kabobs, sweet potato burgers! Everything was great. Loved the positive atmosphere and energy of all the staff!
