The Connecticut River runs over 410 miles through four states, eventually flowing into Long Island Sound. We study the significance of the river to indigenous cultures and livelihoods, explore the impact of human activity and climate change on its watershed, and learn about today’s conservation work.

“My goals were to learn about post-conflict Colombia and step out of my comfort zone. These were fulfilled each and every day through activities, reflections, and first-hand experience.”
— Julia D. , Student, GEBG Colombia 2016“Envoys carefully constructed an educational trip for students that purposefully engaged them to think, reflect, act, and enjoy. The travel logistics were always well-planned, and I had peace of mind knowing that my teen-aged daughter was in safe, responsible, and caring hands.”
— Alice T. , Parent, Deerfield South Korea 2015“Envoys was at the top of their game from start to finish. What initially interested me was their focus on curriculum during pre-departure meetings and the program itself. Envoys cares deeply about the experience of the participants and faculty. [They] constantly ask for constructive criticism and make changes when necessary.”
