Check the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, OR (former home of Keiko
the Whale)...they did one this past summer.


From my experiences as a scout it was always required that we bring a
signed medical slip/power of attorney to give to the leader before we
were left in their care overnight, (the troop leaders may already
have one for each child.)  Best of luck in planning your event, I
look forward to hearing about it.

PS Thanks to those of you answering my query on museum curriculum
boxes, I'm in the process of doing further research and will post
results soon.  Have a fantastic Labor Day weekend.
