Trips are usually taken to the Carrabassett Valley region, which has trails for a variety of skill levels. Canoes are ideal for exploring the rivers and bays of Maine. Before the first trip, a camper must pass a swimming test and receive instruction in canoeing safety. One of the most popular trips we take each summer is 70 miles in the wilderness of Maine along the beautiful and remote Allagash River. For hikers, there are literally hundreds of miles of trails to choose from in the White Mountains, Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park.
Trips vary between overnight backpacking and day hikes out of a base camp.
Kayaking trips are taken in the shelter and safety of the coastal rivers and bays. Many feel that the only way to experience Maine is from the water by boat. The Mark Stewart, a 41-ft sailboat, offers the perfect opportunity for our campers to get that experience. Each summer we take many trips, ranging from two to four days, along the coast of Maine. There are many islands and harbors to visit during these trips.
