TNT Summer Day Camp concluded July 13, and each summer just gets better! In addition to cooking some spectacular dishes, the teens traveled all over the Upper Cumberland. They were able to see millions of bottles of water being processed at Nestle Waters. They learned how kayaks are made at Jackson Kayak. They got a glimpse of farm life by visiting Manna’s Hana Riding Center, Sparkman Dairy and Mike Smith’s farm. they enjoyed a full day of fun at Lake Winnie and spent two days at Slide the City, thanks to Mayor Ricky Shelton. They made their own bread at Great Harvest, watched glass blowing at the Appalachian Center for Craft, packed commodities at UCHRA, ate lunch one day on the lake, and enjoyed many, many, many more adventures.

This is all free to TNT participants and is made possible with the support of numerous community and financial donors and volunteers. We are very grateful to so many who support these youth programs.
