S.W.E.A.T. Crew: Volunteers on the Appalachian Trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park: We Have a New Home!

Thanks to a generous assignment from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the S.W.E.A.T. Crew has a new home! While we all loved Big Creek, the "ATC Base Camp at Soak Ash Creek" is a few steps up. Complete with a workshop and a site for a future classroom, this is 5-star accommodation for any trail crew.

Come join us in 2012 and be the first crew to make Soak Ash Creek our home!

How does the S.W.E.A.T. Crew season work?

During the summer Crew season, S.W.E.A.T. volunteers meet professional trail crew leaders at the basecamp in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and hike into the backcountry for a week of work. The ATC pays for everything: your food, your tools, your saftey equipment. All you have to do is show up and have fun! Dates are posted below.
