The Great Escape: Smokies

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

TGE Smokies begins after 4:00 PM Monday afternoon with registration and is over late Friday night following the final evening program.  Housing is provided Friday night, however, no breakfast will be served Saturday morning and you should plan to depart by 9:00 AM.

​

HOUSING

All students and counselors will be housed in one of Adventure Ocoee’s air-conditioned lodges or bunkhouses. You will need to bring towels, linens/sleeping bags, and a pillow with you. It is important that we maximize space in every room in order to keep costs as low as possible.  Because housing depends on the camps final numbers (which are not final until days before camp starts), we will not know your specific rooming arrangements until you arrive at The Great Escape.

​

FOOD

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all provided as part of your conference cost.  We will feed you beginning with dinner on Monday night and your last meal will be dinner on Friday.
