The Madawaska Kanu Centre is the first and most revered whitewater paddling instruction program in the world. Our wilderness resort is located on the Madawaska River, where most of our classes take place. We have a small team of 15 full-time seasonal employees, as well as over 50 instructors on contract-based work. A private family owned company, MKC cherishes a work play balance and our staff become part of the family.
