FOOT Zoar Whitewater Rafting Trip! Meet in front of Converse Hall. |

This rafting trip will spend about three hours on the mild Class I and II rapids of the lower Deerfield River, guided by upperclass students. There's no way to escape the heat of late August like the cool splash of river water, and there will be opportunities to jump in for a quick swim in the more tranquil sections of the trip. This trip requires a fee of $40, which can be waived in cases of financial necessity. Pre-registration required. Dinner will be provided on the bus. |
