You need government issued photo ID if you are 18 and over (passport or driver's licence).
We are not checking bags. Please make sure you follow all of the rules for carry on luggage. Here is a link to the Delta carry on information.
You will need clothes for June 8, 9, 10 & 11. Pack lightly, but bring comfortable walking shoes. The campus is very large and you will be walking a lot! Make sure you bring team shirts and your NJ FPS shirt. We are wearing the NJ shirts on both flights.
You cannot carry your own medication (including over the counter medicine) as per WW-P overnight trip rules, so please inform your FPS advisor if there are any changes to your initial medical release form.
Make sure you pack your toiletries in a clear ziplock bag (no liquids over 3 ounces - get small trial sizes) that you can pull out of your bag when we go through security.
- Deodorant: Stick deodorant is not limited to 3.4 oz or less, but gel or spray deodorant is.
- Suntan and Sun Block Lotion: Lotions and aerosol spray lotions fall under the 3-1-1 liquids guidelines. Sunblock sticks do not fall under this rule.
- Makeup: Any liquid makeup cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail polish, liquid foundation, etc. should be placed in the zip-top bag. That goes for perfume as well. Powder makeup is fine.
We will review this information again at the Parent Meeting.
