“I think the benefit of having time in a national park and in nature is to get in touch with what’s around you; to experience what our ancestors experienced; to be in an environment that gives you relaxation; where you don’t have anything to worry about, you can just listen to the water. It’s something that everyone should experience because it’s healing to have that calm constantly surround you.” - Student

“Thank you for making learning what it should be - both challenging and fun.” As a grandfather and professor, my appreciation of Firefly Camp simply cannot be overstated. What an amazing experience this was for both my sixyear-old grandson, Cole, and myself. Repeatedly, I found myself amazed at the consistently high quality of this outdoor experience. Every single activity was developmentally appropriate to the age group. In my future developmental psychology classes, I will use Firefly Camp to illustrate how programs should be run. Every experience from the dining hall to the woods to the streams was an opportunity for learning. Thank you for making learning what it should be - both challenging and fun. My grandson and I still are talking about the fun we had sharing laughter as we remember the skits around the campfire. Family members asked many questions, but the truth is Firefly Camp must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Thank you, Rob Gar Secrist

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
WHAT IS THE COOPERATIVE TEACHING METHOD?
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Cooperative teaching is a team-teaching approach that provides opportunities to connect subjects and standards from the classroom to hands-on lessons at Tremont. When teachers team up with Tremont faculty to practice experiential education techniques, they gain confidence and are more likely to transfer those skills back to the classroom.
Educators’ Workshop: Lichens
In fact research shows that, the more teachers actively participate in their trips, the greater the learning impact is on the students throughout the year. Besides, it’s fun!
Cost: $50 for 10 qualifying middle & high school teachers. Limit two per school. The cost for non-teachers is $313. Space is limited to 20 participants, so register early. See gsmit.org/EducatorWorkshops.html.
Learn more about co-teaching at gsmit.org/teachers.html
February 17-19
Lichens—these mysterious organisms have fascinated people for years. Not a plant, not a fungus, but a surprisingly elegant combination of the two.

“My son and I are homeschooling. Citizen Science provides us with many opportunities for hands on learning. Also, I spend much of my free time outside exploring and observing the world around me. When I found out about citizen science it just kind of clicked with me. I can spend time outside and during some of that time I can do something beneficial (other than for myself) and assist scientists with their research regarding some of the things I love and care most about.” -Stacey Whetstone, Tremont Citizen Science Volunteer 17

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK Great Smoky Mountains National Park is excited to celebrate 48 years of educational programming, a long-standing tradition of Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. During my first years as Superintendent, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the unique educational programs provided by Tremont. These programs at Tremont are an integral part of the park’s overall Resource Education mission, helping to weave together the many and varied natural and cultural strands of past and present.
In 2016 the National Park Service celebrates its Centennial and looks forward to a second century of service. As such, we are prepared to move interpretation, education and volunteerism to new heights with our future park stewards. Tremont plays a vital role in helping us to achieve our goals by building bridges which link us together with the next generation of park visitors, supporters and advocates. I am confident that the Tremont staff, its board of directors, National Park staff, and other partners will continue the long standing tradition of striving toward these objectives through excellence in residential programming.
Every day National Park rangers provide a variety of educational experiences for area school children and park visitors. Tremont’s residential environmental education programs expand upon these and serve to deepen the connections between the resource and their audiences. Residential programs immerse participants in the park, providing extended opportunities to experience, study, understand and appreciate the Smokies’ resources.
Thank you for supporting these precious cultural and natural resources. Please enjoy your stay in the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Tremont’s dedicated staff has a personal connection to this park, and their commitment is often what inspires others to return year after year to build their own ties. A residential experience with Tremont stands to offer profound dividends to all who choose to make the investment of his or her time.
Cassius Cash, Superintendent
COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS PARTNERS Only a handful of residential education centers around the country can call a national park home.
