Hi, Anna,

The Pacific Science Center in Seattle does Camp-Ins.  They serve anywhere
from 200 to 600 kids per camp-in.  The audience is usually scout troops or
school groups in the 8-12 age range, although there are a couple open
enrollment camp-ins.   The kids got browse time, dinner, a science workshop,
usually a dance, and a snack.  In the morning, another science workshop and
an IMAX movie. I worked as an instructor there last year, and from my
perspective the camp-ins were very well run.  I'd be happy to give you more
information, or put you in touch with the coordinator.
