MKC's Classic Open Canoe & Kayak Week of Rivers
– Intermediate / Advanced

Five days of paddling on Ontario and Quebec’s best whitewater runs. Day excursions return to the hospitality of the MKC Chalet or our Ottawa River outpost. Instruction is informal and based upon the needs and desires of the participants.

The MKC Week of Rivers provides Intermediate to Advanced level paddlers with the opportunity to experience boating on a totally new level. Five days, five different rivers, completely hassle free! You and a small group of other boaters will be accompanied by two MKC Instructors. Acting as you guides they will look after the all the logistical details of the trip while joining you on the river and creating an environment in which you can push your paddling on new and exciting rivers. This is a unique chance for you to become a real “boater” again, spending five days immersed in the adventure, the excitement and the novelty of paddling new rivers, while experiencing the comfort and pleasure of MKC’s renowned hospitality.   




Possible rivers include the Madawaska, Gatineau, Upper Rouge, Desert, Ouareau, and finishes with the continuous Class III-IV rapids of the Lower Lievre River.  This is the perfect opportunity to practice your river running skills under the careful supervision of MKC instructors.
