We are family owned and operated, beginning with our founders Hermann and Christa Kerckhoff in 1981. The Kerckhoffs immigrated to Canada in the late 50s and fell in love with the river, in 1972 they started the worlds first whitewater kayak and canoe school known as Madawaska Kanu Centre. Hermann and their daughter Claudia were the first kayakers to descend the Ottawa River, discovering a prime location for rafting. Now both companies are thriving thanks to their current owners Claudia and Dirk Van Wijk. The third generation are quickly becoming more involved as well with Stefani Van Wijk as Director of MKC and Katrina heads up the marketing and design.

We are proud to share our magical home of the river with you!
