To tag along to this message-(thank you Jessica for starting this
conversation) I would love to share ideas with other camp coordinators who
run overnight and/or summer camps as well. Feel free to contact me off list.
I don't know if this helpful to the current discussion but I run our
camp-ins at Exploris, we are a mid sized museum who has been successful at
running camp-ins targeted for Girl Scouts. I would be more than happy to
answer any questions and share information.

Hi Jessica,
You could contact the Omaha Children's Museum (www.ocm.org), which is
both an art and science museum. To review basic information on their
web site about over-night programs, see:
