WELCOMEWhat’s different about a New England Outdoor Center vacationin Maine? It’s our philosophy aboutenjoying the great outdoors!

We believe there’s more to white-water rafting than rafts and rushingwater… More to taking a moosetour than seeing the magnificentcreature... more than the outdoorexperience itself...

We believe the quality of enjoyingthe outdoors comes not just fromnature itself, but also from the peo-ple you come in contact with whileyou experience it. Our guides andstaff are not only knowledgeable,but they are also fun to spend theday with. They will make your ad-venture come to life! Combine thiswith our exceptional facilities andamenities and you will enjoy an unforgettable outdoor adventure!

So, come – stay – play with us. Youwill leave feeling enriched on manylevels. We can’t wait to meet you! 800.766.7238
