NEWRY, ME-- A Grand Summer VacationTM is an all-inclusive, full-throttle vacation package that allows each and every member of the family to customize their vacation to include just the right amount of exciting activities, fine dining and even shopping.

Included as part of the Grand Summer Vacation package, each family member receives a Bag O' Fun loaded with Fun Spots that are spent just like cash; only Fun Spots are better than cash because they go farther than cash.

The kids will be cashing in their Fun Spots at the new Adventure Centers featuring giant water slides, climbing walls and in-line skate and skateboard parks. Mom and Dad may want to use their Fun Spots for a round of golf, a set or two of tennis or an invigorating mountain bike excursion. The whole family can use Fun Spots for a family style meal or to visit popular area attractions. Mom and Dad can use their Fun Spots to enjoy a romantic dinner for two at one of the fine resort restaurants, while the kids are occupied during an evening social program. Before you go home, you can even use Fun Spots to purchase gifts and souvenirs at resort retail shops.

You can "Grand Summer" at Mount Snow, Killington and Sugarbush in Vermont; Attitash Bear Peak in New Hampshire and Sunday River and Sugarloaf/USA in Maine. As an added value, Fun Spots are accepted at all the resorts so you can schedule a day trip to another resort during your vacation and play there too.

There's not another summer family vacation package in New England that can offer you the variety, flexibility and adventure of a Grand Summer Vacation. It's everything everyone wants this summer.

Each of the Grand Summit Resort Hotels offer condominiums and a unique quarter ownership option.
