On this trip, you will join Loomis Chaffee and Northfield Mount Hermon students to participate in the “Headwaters to Home” expedition— an interdisciplinary learning adventure along one of New England’s most prominent ecological features, the Connecticut River. Through this experience you will learn how a river creates a living place and how people have made a home beside it.
