Summer 2008

WHAT'S NEW FOR SUMMER 2008

Smugglers' Notch Resort, an Environmental Leader!
Smugglers' was designated a Vermont Business Environmental Leader in 2006 in recognition of the Resort's efforts to promote good environmental stewardship. The designation recognizes that Smugglers' has met rigorous standards in the areas of pollution prevention, regulatory compliance, and environmental management practices such as recycling. Smugglers' is only the second business in Vermont to receive this award. Our efforts continue on the environmental front, and we encourage you to read about them at www.smuggs.com/environment

Summertime family fun!
The Vermont Country Market debuts on Monday evenings throughout the Summer on the Village Green. Guests visiting the Market will enjoy farm stands with fresh Vermont produce and locally made specialty foods, an array of local crafters with their handmade wares, and activity tents for children's arts and crafts and craft demonstrations. The fun also includes facepainting, a henna artist, jugglers, music, carnival games and climbing inflatables. The Vermont Country Market is an opportunity for visitors to have fun enjoying the best our local community has to offer, conveniently brought together right in the Resort Village!

The Village Green comes alive with another event on Thurdays throughout the Summer, the FunMeisters' Summer Showcase. This evening of performance includes song and dance by children from our Sound & Stage camp, tunes and stories from Smugglers' own Friendly Pirate, and special featured performers. Currently on the ticket are Murph the Physical Comedian, No Strings Marionettes and the Jeh Kulu Dance & Drum Theater.

Way2go Adventures debuts this Summer, allowing guests to choose their adventure from programs that run Tuesday through Thursday, designed specifically for adults and teens. Tuesdays kick off the series with kayaking instruction on one of Vermont's beautiful lakes. Wednesdays offer a choice of rock climbing or backroads biking along country roads past rolling farmland and quiet towns. The series ends with river kayaking on Thursdays, as you paddle and explore the Lamoille River near the Resort. Adventures can be linked together for a three-day program of fun for $199 per person, or selected individually for $75 each. Each session runs from 10:00 am until 3:30 pm.

Marko the Magician has thrilled families at Smugglers' for many seasons with his tricks and sleights of hand. This Summer we're pleased to offer Marko's Magical Week from July 27 to August 1, 2008, during which time he will teach his tricks to apprentice magicians ages 7-15. In the evenings, Marko will hold special sessions where adults can learn magic tricks and self-hypnosis to help build confidence, lose weight or quit smoking. The children's camp and these special sessions are fee-based activities.

Get Connected is a new program where families can sign up at the FunMeister's Clubhouse to meet other guests with similar interests. Looking for hiking buddies? It's a great way to meet other people who want to play--or relax.
