"I have never felt so much joy in my heart as I listened to them share their memories. Thank you for being a part of their lives." --Parent after Summer High Adventure
"I really learned what kind of a leader I could be in the woods and a little about what kind of a person I am." --WAC Camper Nicole
"...I always leave Tremont with an incredibly positive attitude about everything in life, and now, whenever bad things happen, I can look at them as a challenge and something that makes me stronger. They say that Tremont is a magical place. It's true. A lot of that magic comes from all of the wonderful people there." --Jessica
Come with us on an awesome outdoor adventure. Tremont offers an
in-depth learning experience that fosters an understanding of these beautiful mountains, and encourages a lifelong appreciation and stewardship of the environment. Our camps offer high quality environmental education programs that focus on Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the issues it faces. Imagine splashing around in an icy cold mountain stream, climbing ridges to an unbelievable view, or choosing from a variety of activities to discover nature through hands-on explorations, day hikes and crafts. It’s hard to imagine education being so much fun, but here at Tremont, it certainly is! Campers who return year after year are testimony to this fact. From backpacking in the wilderness to learning about the secret haunts of salamanders, the Institute offers a variety of opportunities to serve different interests, abilities and age groups. Check it out and find the program that is just right for you or the young person in your life. We have financial aid available.
