​Day 4 – STEAM in the PARK at Tremont Gets a 10/10

What a day in the Smokies! We kicked things off with a beautiful trip to Cades Cove, where Volunteer Tom (our favorite Primitive Baptist Church storyteller—three years running!) brought history to life in a way only he can. From there, we met up with Ranger Sarah at Cable Mill, who swore everyone in as official Junior Rangers. Lunch under the big shade tree felt like a picnic out of a storybook, and exploring the cabins and grist mill gave us a real taste of pioneer life.

Back at camp, the adventure dove—literally—under the surface. River snorkeling revealed an entire hidden world of fascinating creatures that call the water home. Tonight, we wrapped it all up with a hilarious and surprisingly educational “scat chat,” followed by an unforgettable campfire with Annie and Kathleen.

If we had to rate Tremont, it’s an easy 10/10. Tomorrow comes the hard part… saying goodbye.
