WinterKids is relaunching the WinterKids Passport, a program that connects Maine families to free and discounted winter activities across the state.

The WinterKids Passport celebrates 25 years of helping families make winter active, affordable, and fun. With one membership, kids and their grown-ups can access free junior lift tickets, ice skating, gear rentals, XC Ski & snowshoe trails, and more at 75+ participating locations throughout Maine.
