Wilderness Adventure Trek

BACKPACKING ADVENTURE
Ages 13-17

Make this summer an adventure they’ll never forget.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers tremendous opportunities to learn about a diverse and beautiful part of the planet. Known for breathtaking views, clear mountain streams, abundant wildlife and variety of plants, this is the perfect setting for an introductory backpacking course. During this true backcountry wilderness experience, campers will sleep in the woods, swim in a mountain stream, kick back around the campfire, and make new friends to last a lifetime.

Wilderness Adventure Trek provides a unique opportunity for teens to become fully immersed in the wilderness for longer than a weekend camping trip, all with the guidance of Tremont’s experienced professional naturalists. Over the course of four days and three nights, your teen will learn about the wildlife, natural ecosystems, and biodiversity of the Smokies – and themselves! Campers should expect to be challenged physically and mentally as they hike, prepare meals, set up camp, and other tasks essential for living in the wilderness. But trust us, it’s going to be a blast.
