*car wash
*run errands for people
*garage/yard sale
*collecting aluminum cans recycling
Do you have any hobbies, like crafts, where you could make stuff then sell it?

1. Do you get an allowance? Save it if you do. If not, see if you can earn extra money at home by doing things around the house that you don't normally do.
2. Would you mow lawns, rake leaves, shovel snow for neighbors? That's always an easy way to make money.
3. Have a garage sale. I'm sure that you have stuff that you could sell.
4. Deliver newspapers on the weekends.

Have you school check into selling candy. All the students going to DC hustle up and hawk chocolate at inflated prices to all their family and friends. The candy supplier usually gets about half and the school gets the rest.
You might be able to get away with a raffle since it is a school. Get a local business to supply a prize or two and sell raffle tickets...tiny overhead, pure profit.
Get a disliked teacher to volunteer to be paintball shot for $10 or $20 a shot. A wimpy variation on this might be a pie in the face or if you are really wimpy they could sit on a pedestal mechanism and you wing balls at the release lever to make them fall in a tub of water. A paintball shot is way marketable...let 'em wear a helmet though.
Get a thrashed car and let people beat the crap out of it with a sledge hammer at a buck a whack.
Kissing booths were always a winner (especially with a hottie in the booth) but probably too politically incorrect for this repressed day and age.
Believe it or not bake sales do well. Get everyone's mom to anti-up and produce some donated goodies and sell them...pure profit.
If you can get the facility and advertising all you can eat pancake breakfasts are good...get the police, fireman, of a church to sponsor it.
See if the local public radio station and or regular radio station will donate any CDs to sell of. They get thousands of promo CDs for free and they are not supposed to sell them, but the DJs tend to swipe them and sell 'em. Station managers will usually donate if you are in a small enough town.
Get kids to stand out in front of heavy traffic locations like grocery stores and sell some cheap printed "I gave" thing like a well written thank you flyer with info on your coming trip, or a folded paper crane...or just have them beg (I mean "ask") for donations.
Car wash.
Good luck.

Don't sell drugs or do anything else illegal! There will be other opportunities to travel, but my guess is that your parent's want to see your effort to responsibly raise the money and then they will probably supplement whatever amount you are short for your trip. Do you have anything you could sell on E-bay?

Do a fund raiser, with your class mates or friends. In some cases you could go ask attorneys and lawyers to sponsor you with a trip to D.C. In some cases they do help. Don't forget to send a Thank You note.

the best way to make money is find what people want that you can provide in an efficient service. not too big of a project or chore and maybe something you can do annually so that you have a constant steady income...making it easier to estimate your profit and assume what you may have by the time of the trip.

If it were easy and legal for 13 years olds to make that kind of money you'd already know how.

well, it sounds like you're too lazy to do actual work; I guess if you were older you could turn tricks.
