<<Henry Ford Museum is developing a camp-in program. This consists of a variety of evening activities around the Museum, followed by a sleep over on the museum floor. The program is being developed to accomodate about 200 kids and chaperones (at a roughly 1 to 10 ratio). The target audience right now are girl scout troops and the like. We would be interested in hearing what the experience of others who have done this type of program has been. What makes them successful, what are the potential pitfalls, and so on.>> One early 19th century site that I know of did/does a Girl Scout camp-in with candle-dipping, making a cornhusk doll, a storyteller/musician, a hike on grounds, and a tour of historic house. They arrive around 4 p.m. and leave around 10 the next morning. The groups were generally kept to around 25 or 30, limited by the sleeping areas and restroom facilities available.
