An Adventure of a Lifetime
 |
Combine
adventure with peace and quiet
| Come
to the beautiful, tranquil Maine coast for a special island adventure. This
6-day, 5-night schedule of
invigorating outdoor activities will take you far away from the pace of
everyday life. From sailing and kayaking along the pristine coastline to
guided meditation, your island experiences are sure to make life's stresses
but a distant memory. |
 |
| Sponsored
jointly by the Chebeague Recreation Center and L.L.Bean, the Maine Island
Adventure is designed to leave you refreshed and contented at day's end.
Early risers might enjoy a sunrise run or walk along the shoreline. Each day's
agenda starts with an hour of personalized yoga instruction. |
|
| You'll
spend time sea kayaking with L.L.Bean's expert instructors, trained to
teach all skill levels. Lunch will be at one of many favorite picnic spots
on Chebeague or neighboring islands. And you'll find plenty of opportunities
for beachcombing or relaxing in the sun, breathing in the crisp, clear ocean
air. Your last day of kayaking ends with a day tour of Casco Bay, including
exploration of deserted Little Chebeague Island,
followed by an
overnight camping experience on a tranquil Chebeague Island beach.

Maine
is known for its beautiful sailing.
| Enjoy a sail around and about the nearby islands aboard the 46 foot sloop
"Vixen," recently back from a winter cruise to the Caribbean.
You'll have a chance to "take the helm," set the sails, and navigate. Casco Bay sailing is renowned for its scenic island settings, its abundant waterfowl, its large colony of harbor seals, the challenges of its ten foot tides, and its dependable, gentle sailing breezes. |

| Rest easy after your
day of activities and fun adventures -- individual attention awaits you at
the historic Chebeague Inn. Overlooking The Great Chebeague Golf Club, which
stretches along the shore of Casco Bay, the Inn offers exceptional views of

conversations or curl up with a good book by a roaring fire in the inn's
charming Great Room. Meals are prepared the old-fashioned way, using extra
TLC, and the menu offers local seafood daily, along with hearty homemade
soups and breads.
