The Maryland Science Center has done sleepovers for scouting and school
groups for years. Here's their Camp-in webpage:
http://www.mdsci.org/community/campin/index.cfm  I suggest you give them a
call.

We are looking into the possibility of offering sleepovers at the Museum as
a revenue generating program. Do you know of successful models in science
centers? We would like to contact a few places who can help us understand if
the registration fees will cover all of the expenses it will take to run the
program - salary, program development and supplies, keeping the building
open, etc. 

 

Also, we want to know what others are charging per person, what activities
are offered, and other program parameters.

 

Thanks!
