Northern Outdoors has all the right ingredients for successful summer family vacations. Affordability, family-friendly outdoor adventure, shared connections, and relaxing downtime deliver outstanding family vacations at Maine's favorite adventure resort.

Again this year, Northern Outdoors offers families huge value with raft and resort vacation that include midweek discounts on whitewater rafting & lodging, including kids 50% off whitewater rafting through August 30th.

The secret sauce to making the most successful family vacation is easy at Maine’s favorite adventure resort: plenty of time for families to play, connect, relax and enjoy time away from hectic everyday routines. A three-day vacation at Northern Outdoors feels like a week's worth of relaxed, engaged family time due to the magic that happens on whitewater rafting trips, at the lodge, around the campfire, and more. On a family adventure vacation at Northern Outdoors, things slow down to a pace of laughter, playtime, insights, and observations. (There is wifi and big screen tvs at the lodge, but you won't need them!)

"We put the spark back in family vacations with affordable, shared family adventure and huge fun in Maine's great outdoors” says Russell Walters, President of Northern Outdoors and Dad to two adventure-loving sons, Harry age 11, and Cameron, age 8.

On weekdays from June 10 -to-August 30, 2013, this super saving 50% off rafting deal applies to kids 8-17 years old on the playful Class III-IV Kennebec River and to teens ages 15-17 on the more challenging, wilderness-rich Class IV-V Penobscot River. The discount is valid for one child per full-paying adult. Midweek package pricing is typically up to 25% lower than peak weekends, offering even more value for families looking for active, casual, adventure vacations this summer.

"The Kennebec & Penobscot Rivers are Maine's most popular rafting trips thanks to incredible scenery, exciting & family-friendly whitewater, and easy access. The Kennebec is only 4 hours from Boston. The Penobscot is 4 hours from Portland, Maine, says Russell Walters, President of Northern Outdoors.
