Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
total annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's
performance. During its most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover
rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
the Fund's operating expenses (including one year of capped expenses in each
period) remain the same.

Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in
securities of medium-sized companies. For purposes of this policy, a
medium-sized company is defined as having a market capitalization of less than
$15 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund seeks capital appreciation by
investing mainly in common stocks of medium-sized companies that the Adviser
believes have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation
potential and attractive valuations. Through the consistent execution of a
fundamental bottom-up investment process, which includes an effort to
understand a company's intrinsic or fair value, the Adviser expects to identify
a diversified universe of medium-sized companies that trade at a discount to
their estimated or intrinsic fair values. As such, the Adviser seeks to
mitigate company-specific risk by limiting position sizes to 5% of the Fund's
total assets at market value, at the time of purchase. The Adviser will sell a
security when it reaches the Adviser's estimate of its fair value or when
information about a security invalidates the Adviser's basis for making the
investment. The Adviser may also sell securities in order to maintain the 5%
limit on position sizes or when exposure to a sector exceeds the Adviser's
sector weight rules. The Fund is broadly diversified and the Adviser seeks to
create value primarily through favorable stock selection.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her
investment could lose money. A FUND SHARE IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT
INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC, OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The principal risk
factors affecting shareholders' investments in the Fund are set forth below.

Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that
stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically,
the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's equity
securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may
report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic
trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may
suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility,
which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.

The Fund is also subject to the risk that medium-capitalization stocks may
underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a
whole. The medium- and small-sized companies the Fund invests in may be more
vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established
companies. In particular, these medium- and small-sized companies may pose
additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to
have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend
upon a relatively small management group.  Therefore, mid- and
small-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger
companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an
exchange.
Risk, Lose Money rr_RiskLoseMoney As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money.

[1] Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to reduce fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Reductions and/or Expense Reimbursements (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses (collectively, "excluded expenses")) from exceeding 1.30% of the Fund's Advisor Class Shares' average daily net assets until November 30, 2012. In addition, if at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees or make expense reimbursements, the Adviser may retain the difference between the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including excluded expenses) and 1.30% to recover all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period during which this agreement (or any prior agreement) was in place. This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board, for any reason at any time; or (ii) by the Adviser, upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on November 30, 2012.
