Traditional Maine

We offer a wide variety of outdoor activities
that people have enjoyed in the Maine woods for generations. Our
trips will educate the participants about the history of the area and
the skills used to safely enjoy the Maine outdoors. We provide
meals, gear, and the know-how to make your trip a great one. We
have many pre-packaged trips, or we can design one specifically for
the activities and locations you want. Please contact Shawn, and
explore the possibilities for yourself or your group.
