James River Expedition
The James River Expedition (JRE) is an expedition that takes students and teachers down the James River in canoes, rafts, bateaus, and work boats. The groups camp out every night along the river. The students that are chosen to go on the trips have to go through an application process, phone interviews, and later, if chosen, practice canoe sessions. The expedition is funded by Dominion Power who gives the James River Association (JRA) $50,000 per expedition for supplies like technology, camping gear, river gear, and most importantly, food. This is an annual expedition that has been happening every summer since 2011.
