Teacher Escape Weekend I

August 15-16 | $99 | Register Now
Registration includes instruction, food, and lodging in our dorm inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 

Kick off the new school year with a refreshing and reinvigorating trip to the Smokies – designed with teachers in mind!
This weekend is an opportunity to meet other teachers, share ideas for engaging students, learn from Tremont’s vast experience leading outdoor exploration, and answer questions you may have before your school’s visit to Tremont (if applicable.) It is also a time to relax, enjoy the mountain scenery and make new connections.
Our Teacher Escape Weekends train teachers for experiential learning and include transferable skills to take back to the schoolyard. Our time together will be both productive and enjoyable, with opportunities for individual reflection, discussion of critical issues, and access to resources for use at Tremont and beyond.
Attendance in this program allows teachers to attend free of charge when their school participates in a three- or five-day Tremont school program. It also reduces the cost of the trip for each participant.
What to Expect:

Take-home educational strategies that are proven to improve student performance
Increased confidence in core routines of experiential learning
An opportunity to relax, learn, and network with other educators across the region
Preparation for cooperative teaching with our on-site teaching faculty
15 professional development hours for continuing teacher education
Meals, lodging, materials, and instruction, all with the beautiful backdrop of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Cost: With the generous support of the Arconic Foundation, we are able to offer this experience for the low cost of $99, which includes food and lodging for the weekend. We cover the majority of the cost for the Teacher Escape Weekends because we understand the importance and value of this experience for new and returning teachers. We hope that participants will learn more about this special place and the range of opportunities available here.
