They had several overnight campouts, called Cowboy Campouts, during the summer. I wasn't directly involved with them, but as I recall they were very successful and always sold out. I'm not sure who is in charge of the campouts now, but you can call the admin office at 316-264-0671 ext. 100 for information. Good Luck! Vanya Scott, Registrar Atomic Testing Museum 755 E.
