ADVENTURE.
When we say business meets adventure, we mean it—since
Maine is one of the nation’s great outdoor playgrounds, you
may want to combine your business meeting or convention
with an exhilarating recreational outing. Or let your delegates
discover their own adventure; just knowing what’s available to
them is likely to make them more eager to attend your event.
Whenever you come, a dazzling variety of activities await.
Welcome to Maine.
The Western Lakes and Mountains region offers superb
downhill skiing, snowmobiling and rafting, while most other
outdoor activities are easily accessible in Greater Portland.
You can paddle gently in a canoe through the state’s largest
salt marsh in Scarborough or take in a panoramic view of
brilliant foliage on a fall hike up Bradbury Mountain in Pownal.
Maine Audubon sanctuaries in Portland, Falmouth and Freeport
are the ideal place for bird watchers to roam while golfers will
find excellent country and coastal links, some ranked within
the top courses in the nation.
Biking and kayaking are two of the most popular outdoor
activities that can be done as a group and experienced guides
are available to lead your group in both. Elegant schooners
will sail your party down the bay for a close-up view of forts
and lighthouses. Or you can don rubber gloves and haul
traps with a Maine lobsterman. Try ice-fishing or skating
on Sebago Lake where the ice goes on for miles…
From golfing to deep-sea fishing, we’ll help you find the
perfect outdoor activities for your group. Or you may simply
want to enjoy the views as you conduct business amid a natural
backdrop conducive to productivity and clear thinking.

“ I have gotten nothing but compliments from
those who attended the meeting. My husband
and I even stayed a few extra days and
enjoyed some great time in the area.”
