- Luggage Guidelines: Discuss the luggage requirements and limitations, such as the number of bags allowed, size restrictions, and what items should be packed. Remind participants to pack appropriately for the weather and activities planned.
- Travel and Accommodations: Review the transportation arrangements, emphasizing comfort and safety. Also, provide an overview of the accommodations, including rooming assignments and any specific rules related to the hotels.
- Chaperone and Group Responsibilities: Clarify the roles and responsibilities of chaperones and how students will be grouped. Explain how chaperones will manage and supervise their assigned students, ensuring safety and order throughout the trip.
