QuestionWhat do I need if I'm going swimming?Community AnswerPack a swimsuit or two if you're going swimming more than once. Bring goggles or swim floaties if you want, and bring a towel if you're not sure any will be available where you're going. I recommend water shoes if you're going swimming in a lake, stream, river, or ocean so your feet don't get cut on rocks.

QuestionTraveling by bus to Colorado Springs in June, what do I take?Community AnswerBring layers. In June it is likely to be hot, but in the evenings it gets cooler, so bring a wrap, fleece or jacket. If you hike or will be traveling up the mountains, those layers will help you to regulate your body temperate. I always pack a long-sleeved shirt or two that I can roll up the sleeves, that can shield me from the sun and can be washed in a sink. The same with pants, if possible. Be sure that your under garments can be washed in the sink and will dry quickly, unless you will be staying in the same place the entire time.

QuestionWhat are fun things that you should pack for the kids?Sam BillingsCommunity AnswerStart with their favorite toys, whether it's action figures, dolls, or stuffed animals, to bring along a piece of home. Compact games like cards or travel-sized board games can provide hours of fun, while books and activity sets like coloring books with crayons keep their minds engaged. Don't forget snacks to keep their energy up, and consider comfort items like a beloved blanket or pillow for cozy moments.
