Join us for an overnight Camp-In adventure

As the sun sets outside, the ADVENTURE is just beginning in The Children’s Museum!

Your Overnight Camp-In experience includes:

  • Science-based workshops and demonstrations
  • Exploration of our many exhibits
  • A world safari tour through our Wildlife Sanctuary
  • An award winning digital full-dome show and real-time space tour in the NEW Travelers Science Dome at the Gengras Planetarium
  • Evening telescope viewing of the night sky (weather permitting)
  • Evening snack and light breakfast

Overnight Camp-Ins are offered to youth groups in grades 1 – 6 on selected Friday and Saturday nights from November - June. Our themes may fulfill scout badge requirements, but all are geared to generate the fun and excitement that can only be found at a Camp-In.

Girl Scout Leader: “This was my first visit and I think this is an exciting place to visit. Perfect for this age.”

Evening Badge Workshops

Calling Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts to be our special guests for an evening centered on fulfilling badge requirements.

Get ready to join us on a fun-filled evening of engaging activities and Museum exploration focused on fulfilling badge requirements. Our skilled instructors follow BSA and GSUSA requirements for scouting levels in grades 1-6. Most or all of the requirements are completed during the evening. Packets are sent home with leaders to complete requirements, if needed. Fee includes supplies, instructors, and admission into the Museum for participants.
