BAGGAGE:

First off, we are not going to check student baggage. All students will take a carry-on piece (duffle, carry-on suitcase (45 linear inches, etc…) with the majority of their gear in it. In addition, they will take one personal item. This will be their small daypack/backpack that will become the bag that they have with them at all times on the trip. (Just like at Camp H or Bowman Bay).

Secondly: If a student sleeping bag will not fit into their carry-on luggage, there will be a duffle bag available for them to put their compressed sleeping bag into at the airport. You must arrange this with Mr. Hamilton the week before departure. No exceptions.

It won’t fit. Three words you don’t want to hear when trying to board. Please check the link below to find Delta’s carry-on baggage rules at Delta Air: https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/baggage/during-your-trip/carry-on.html

If a student bag is over sized, then they are responsible for paying the fee to get it checked. Fee is currently $25.
