CWS6 Visits Harpers Ferry in First Expedition of the Semester

The first overnight expedition with CWS6 was an absolute blast! Students spent last week adventuring in western Maryland, including but not limited to: whitewater rafting in Harpers Ferry, camping in New Germany State Park, macroinvertebrate sampling with Maryland DNR, hiking, and fossil hunting!
