Clothing & Equipment List
for the Florida Keys Trip
Students should “travel light” and pack everything into a medium-sized duffel bag or suitcase. A small carry-on bag for books, tapes, and personal items may be taken on the bus (A school bookbag works fine for this.) and kept in the overhead storage racks. EACH ITEM should be labeled with the student's name. Remember, there are over 90 students going on this trip and students need to be able to locate their clothing & equipment easily! Please limit candy & additional snack foods. NOTE: Please look at the Royal Tours bus regulations on food & snacks.
