Hi Susan,

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum offers an overnight program where groups
spend the night on board a World War II submarine. Go to
http://www.wimaritimemuseum.org/overnight.htm, then click on the link to
Frequently Asked Questions (PDF). It has answers to all of the questions
you posed, and then some. It's been an extremely popular and successful
program for us, and is always booked many months in advance.

My Educator is interested in developing an overnight experience for
scout groups at our museum, but has never done one before.  I know the
big museums do this sort of thing, but what about small to mid size
institutions?

 

What age group are they geared for?

How often do you offer them?

What are your minimum and maximums?

What do you do from drop off until pick up?

What do you charge children?  Do you charge chaperones?  What is your
child/staff ratio?

Are parents required to sign a permission slip/waiver/emergency
contact/medical info sheet?

 

Thanks for any information you can provide us to help determine if we
would like to proceed with this idea.
