The week will include canoeing and kayaking for all skill levels, yoga, massage, acupuncture, nutrition through a thai cooking workshop, slalom technique and of course our favourite - pairing Canadian wine and cheese one evening at the Lake Lot. The opportunity to paddle and be supported in a women's only environment can be positive and desirable - especially valuable in our perceived 'high risk' sport - one that is so attainable with good instruction.  Joining us this year as instructors will be Jessie Stone ( international kayaking physician and member of the USA Freestyle Team), Gail Shields (open canoe mentor), Caroline Owen (seasoned Canoe tripper and internationally recognized Yoga therapy instructor), and NZ born kayaker Jane Johnson.  Combined with Claudia's (owner of MKC, international athlete and inspiration behind Women's week) enthusiasm and knowledge of high performance tools has turned the idea of running a women's course into a Retreat - the ultimate paddling spa five years ago. The week begins on Sunday night providing the chance to table your goals which lets us finalize the weeks' agenda.  Our aim is to provide the most supportive week for you - to attain your paddling potential !

Every day will start off with a Yoga session before breakfast. Paddling will be the main focus of the day, with an hour break for lunch back up at the MKC resort. Après paddling sessions start with a stretching session 'plein-air', then daily session will be:  Nutrition & Thai cooking workshop, a Canadian wine and cheese tasting along the waters edge, Biomechanics and Acupuncture session, specialized slalom technique session in the gates;  receiving your own massage and dip into the wood-fired hot tub,  MKC's Thursday evening awards ceremony culminating with a Yoga Dance event - getting us ready for Friday's river trip down.
