Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa

The Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa, New Hampshire’s premier family destination resort in the heart of the White Mountains, announced a brand-new Summer Children’s Program in 2003.  The Northern Lights Children’s Center is the headquarters for an exciting children’s program.   Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa is continuing their Frostnick Fairy theme throughout the summer months at the Northern Lights Children’s Center. Many of the favorite winter fairies will make appearances in their summer garb as Sunshine Fairies and themed activities will be included in the recreational roster. They promise a fun-filled agenda of stimulating activities for young people throughout summer. While parents are free to enjoy a relaxing day at the Tower Spa, explore the wealth of local antique shops or browse the picturesque Main Streets of the local small towns, children are happily occupied with recreational activities. One highlight of the program is Earth Day where kids plant trees, participate in nature scavenger hunts, make their own "bug juice" (repellant) and take nature hikes around the 400-acre property to identify flora and fauna species native to the area.  The Jumpin’ Jack Frost Activity Center is a full-service activity center catering to four seasons of outdoor recreation.

The Jumpin’ Jack Frost Activity Center has quickly becoming a focal point of activity at the resort. Situated on nearly 400 acres of pristine wilderness and backed by almost 2500 acres of White Mountain National Forest, the resort offers access to year-round recreational activities originating from the Jumpin’ Jack Frost’s Activity Center with winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dogsled rides, ice-skating, sno-tubing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and much more.
