Food: snacks and drinks you will need to provide; lunch will be provided again this year, from the school summer lunch program.
Clothing: Wear light colored clothing, light weight clothing, shorts, t-shirts, tennis shoes (required), and an extra pair of socks. Students can also wear a hat to cover their heads and faces from the sun. Water bottles, sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks, and extra clothes for inclement weather are also good ideas.
