I used to work at Old Cowtown Museum, a living history museum located in
Wichita, Kansas. 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!
