MKC's Family Programs, allow paddlers of all ages and skill levels to learn and vacation together.  Young Canoeists will paddle with a parent and divided into skill level groups.  Young Kayakers will be grouped together by age and divided according to their ability.  A great opportunity for Kids to paddle with others their own age.
And for Canadian families, MKC's 5-day courses are eligible for the $ 1000 children's fitness tax credit.
