Can’t make these camp dates? Check out Discovery Camp I – June 13-18.

Discovery Camp is full of firsts for many kids. Each day will be full of exciting discoveries in the great outdoors. This week-long camp is an opportunity for campers to get down and dirty with the forests, rivers, and critters that make these mountains home.

Campers search for salamanders, collect insects, experience the power of a waterfall, hike through the wilderness, cool off in the swimming hole, and laugh with their new friends around the campfire. This is the place where kids will discover just how exciting and awe-inspiring nature can be.

Ages: 9–12

Cost: $670
Registration includes instruction, food, and lodging in our dorm inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
