Teen Backcountry Adventures

SUMMER IN THE SMOKIES
Ages 13-17

Looking for a thrilling summer adventure that will challenge and empower your teenager? Look no further than Tremont Institute’s backcountry backpacking trips! Our 4-day and 10-day summer camps are designed to give teenagers an unforgettable experience in the great outdoors, all while building confidence, resilience, and a love for nature.

Our experienced guides will lead your teen on a journey through the breathtaking beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. They’ll learn essential wilderness skills, from navigation and map reading to leave-no-trace principles and backcountry cooking. But it’s not all about survival skills – our trips also include plenty of fun activities like swimming in crystal-clear streams and stargazing under the night sky.

At Tremont, we believe that spending time in nature is not only good for the body, but also the soul. Our backpacking trips provide a unique opportunity for teenagers to disconnect from technology and connect with their surroundings, as well as with their fellow adventurers. It’s a chance to make new friends, face challenges head-on, and come back feeling more confident and self-assured than ever before. Sign up today and give your teen a summer they’ll never forget!
