Outdoor education programs scheduled throughout 2023 in the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont are now open for registration. 

The 2023 schedule features summer camps for kids and young adults, family camps, professional development for teachers, photography workshops, hiking and backpacking adventures, naturalist programs and wilderness emergency medical courses. The schedule also includes the return of Naturalist Week, a summer camp for adults that includes animal tracking, birding, sketching, stargazing, plant identification and more. 

From its campus inside the national park, Tremont provides experiential environmental education programs for people ages four and up. Most programs are residential, ranging from two to ten days long, providing an immersive experience for participants. Program prices include lodging and meals.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
