Join us for a journey back in geologic time. We will investigate the park’s different geologic aspects as well as discuss the billion year old history of the rocks of the Smokies, with emphasis on the processes that are unique to this region. We will discuss and examine igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks exposed within the park, and geologic structures like folds and faults that illustrate its complex tectonic history. We’ll relate the rocks to the biological world and the classroom. Workshop lasts from Friday supper to Sunday lunch relax, enjoy the mountain scenery and make new friends. Attendance in this program allows teachers to attend free of charge when their school participates in a three or five day Tremont school program. It also reduces the cost of the trip for each participant (see chart below for full information on price reductions).

2009 cost for educators: $50 per person
2009 cost for non-educators: $260 per person
