A previous program participant said, “Tremont not only introduced me to the wonders of the mountains and the elegance of wildlife, but also showed me how to work together. Through cooperation and hard work, we were able to overcome what seemed impossible obstacles. I learned that if you put down electronics a whole other world opens to you.”
