ROCC is comprised of the section of trail from the Academy parking lot to Townshed Road in Orford, New Hampshire. This section of the trail is used by many classes. The intent of ROCC is to promote place-based education with meaningful work and authentic performance tasks. Here are just a few examples of how this section of the CRT is used:

7th Grade classes spend some time classifying plants on the trail and developing informative, hand-illustrated trail books.

8th Grade uses the trail in their earth formation unit as well as their Dose/response lab unit.

Agricultural Ecology courses walk parts of the CRT to examine different examples of succession in forest types.

Freshman science courses use the surrounding habitat adjacent to the trails to run forest studies and amphibian/reptile biodiversity studies. They also use decomposing logs to set up investigations for Certificate of Mastery Lab Reports.

Language Arts classes have used the trail in the past to journal in books made with paper carefully made from leaves and bark collected from the trail.
