Weather and What to Bring

As the old New England saying goes… “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.” April weather in Vermont can be unpredictable. There may be snow cover in some of the areas visited on the bus tour. It is advisable to pack for temperatures between 33° F (low) and 53° F (high). The following is a list of items past participants have suggested bringing to make your trip comfortable:

• Cash (for the nights you have time to explore the area “on your own”)
• Sturdy, comfortable, waterproof, walking shoes or boots (be aware that two campuses include tours of farms)
• Rain gear or umbrella
• Warm coat
• Hat and gloves or mittens
• Camera (for taking pictures of all the beautiful campuses!)
• Swimsuit (if you want to enjoy the pool, sauna, or whirlpool available at some accommodations)
