L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery School

Best Bargain Curious about a sport? Bean’s true-to-the-name Walk-on Adventures make it easy learn to experience sea kayaking, fly-casting, sporting clays, or archery. Simply register at the store for a two-hour introduction. The $15 fee includes instruction, local transportation, and equipment. [DETAILS]

COA Family Nature Camp

Best Bargain Earn a B.A. in family fun at College of the Atlantic’s Family Nature Camp. Instead of packing the kids off to camp, join them on Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park, for a weeklong program. This hands-on, naturalist-led session includes activities such as whale watching, exploring tidal pools and sea caves, and wildlife viewing, as well as meals and lodging. [DETAILS]

Round Pond Lobster

Best Bargain The Pemaquid Peninsula likely has the largest concentration of lobster shacks in coastal Maine, and pretty Round Pond has not one but two harborfront shacks that face off across a shared parking lot. We’ve yet to find a lobster dinner priced lower than at either Round Pond Lobster or Muscongus Bay Lobster; truly, you can’t go wrong at either. Call in season for pricing. [DETAILS]
