Welcome Friends!Tremont is a non-profit residential
environmental education center that provides in-depth experiences through education programs that celebrate ecological and
cultural diversity, foster stewardship, and nurture appreciation of Great Smoky

Many school districts may have questions and concerns about bringing a group to the Smoky Mountains. Listen to
these teachers talk about how Tremont prepares them for a trip and the impact it has on their teaching and the lives of
their students.
Yea….we new
they’d like it!
The Tremont Institute is not just for students. There are many exciting learning opportunities for adults as well.
Hello, I m Bella……I hope you’ve checked out all our
workshops! Theo is slowing down and needs a nap, so I will fly you through the rest
of the tour!
Psst…check out the two workshops
first and then we’ll get going!

staying at Tremont.
We’re working on a “butterfly” view for next year! Let’s go
flying!
See first hand the humor, sadness, and frustration that effected so many people last Fall….including my Fall Break.
This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands.
Oh, this was a sad time…we really missed those kids!

What to Bring?

You will be wading in this!
Let’s check out some
past groups you may know!
from Missouri. Since most of you are from the area I thought I would include them in my presentation. The Rockwood group I met on a hike but my camera batteries were dead was unable to get “action shots”. I was able to film Maplewood arriving and unloading. I will include them in my next video. The video below I believe was from last years’ Maplewood group. Hope you enjoy!
Almost finished!
I had hoped to include a lot of pics and video clips of my hikes while filming for this project but it was
going to be to long. So I just included mainly the wildflowers that are currently in bloom.
