Welcome to Tremont!

Welcome to Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont where we have been connecting people and nature since 1969.

Tremont is a residential environmental education center located within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We help teachers, students, parents, vacationers and photographers learn about stewardship and the cultural and natural history of the Smokies through our in-depth education programs including weekend hikes, Elderhostel programs, family camping programs, and 3- and 5-day school group programs.

Using GSMNP as our classroom, you can learn about the environment and do some hands-on research with our citizen science program, teaching young and old about science and scientific research in the park.
