Bring the family for a one-, two-, or three-night experience in Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Bond with your child while playing games that build confidence and awaken the senses. Get to know the forest and its creatures, wade in a cool mountain stream, sing songs and hear stories around the campfire, and before bedtime – you guessed it – see the fireflies light up the night.

Firefly Camp aims to give you and the youngster in your life a taste of what summer camp is like. Because you choose the duration of your stay, it’s not too long and not too short – it’s just right. Both you and your child will get to experience new activities each day, having fun while exploring the wonders of nature.
