Packing List – DC Trip
In May in Washington DC it can be very hot—upwards of 80-90 degrees. They get frequent rain showers. We will be outside a fair amount so plan accordingly. Students are representing the DS Middle School on this trip and should dress accordingly.
Clothing/outerwear
Comfortable walking shoes—tennis shoes, flip flips etc.
Hat/sunglasses
Lightweight jacket or windbreaker—even better if water resistant for rain
Umbrella (optional)
2 pairs pants or shorts
Skirts/skorts are also good for girls
3-4 nice t-shirts/shirts
Lightweight sweater or sweatshirt might be nice—many museums are very air-conditioned
Dressier clothes for dinner dance cruise (this is not a semi-formal event—what students would wear to a DS dance is fine)
Underwear/socks
Small backpack or purse if desired—these will be checked at most locations!
Toiletries*
Sunscreen
Shampoo/conditioner/lotion
Deodorant
Toothbrush and paste
Items for braces as required
Earplugs are suggested due to shared rooms (soft foam ones can be purchased at any drug store)
Camera
Notebook/pencil or pen if desired
* Please check airline guidelines for what items may be carried on and in what quantities.
