Tremont staff will provide insight into the many wonders of the Smoky Mountains.

“Tremont provides discovery, adventure, nature education and we do all the cooking too!” says executive director Ken Voorhis. “This weekend is a great value for the whole family to get away and join our talented staff for an adventure filled weekend you will never forget.
