One Student’s Journey Down The James



Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel down the James for 8 days straight?

Zach Perkins, a rising senior at the Clover Hill Math and Science High School wrote a first-hand account of his journey on the middle James with the James River Expeditions which can be seen in the Midlothian Exchange.

“No electricity, no air conditioning, no showers.

These were the conditions that nine fellow students, five adult leaders and I had to experience for eight days. But, you will not hear any complaints from this group! Rather, all we have to share are stories that will last us a lifetime.
