The Maine Kid’s Summer Bucket List Is HERE! [LIST]

Summertime for kids in Maine is full of adventure and relaxation.  In a few months, they'll be back in the classroom and hitting the books.  It's the perfect time to make a list of things to do and experience to live up the free time of summer and we want to help you with that list.
