Summer Camp in the Smokies<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This summer, send your kids on a life-changing outdoor adventure.<\/strong> Whether they want to spend their days making rock paint by a waterfall, playing Camouflage with new-found friends, exploring biodiversity with Smokies scientists, or challenging themselves on a multi-day backpacking adventure, there’s something for everyone at Tremont.<\/p>\n

More than your average summer camp, we offer multi-day, overnight experiences for kids ages 4 to 17 – and sometimes their adults<\/a>! Our summer camps connect kids with nature – and each other – through new, empowering experiences full of curiosity, discovery, and wonder.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nestled in the mountains of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tremont is the perfect location for self-discovery and building connections to the natural world. Campers fall asleep to the sounds of cicadas and awake to birds singing in the mountain morning sun. During the day, they’ll have unforgettable experiences splashing in mountain streams, climbing ridges to unbelievable views, and discovering secrets about the plants and animals that call the Smokies home.<\/p>\n

Camps are all-inclusive, so you won’t have to worry about food or lodging during your child’s stay. Plus, they’ll be surrounded by our experienced team<\/a> of creative, skilled, and caring naturalists and educators.<\/p>\n<\/div>
