Sleep in a Museum Gallery!
Your group will love a Minnesota Children's Museum Camp–In…it’s a nighttime adventure that’s action–packed! It’s all the fun of a camping trip without the mosquitoes or rain gear! Your “under the stars” adventure begins with dinner at the Museum. Participate in special activities, explore the Museum. After an evening of fun, your group will enjoy a nighttime snack and “camp” overnight in the galleries! Wake in the morning to a continental breakfast and take home an official Minnesota Children’s Museum Camp–In patch.
Who are Camp–Ins for?
Minnesota Children’s Museum Camp–Ins are a perfect indoor camping experience for cub scout, girl scout and brownie troops, youth groups, recreational groups, school groups and other organizations for children ages 6 to 10 and their adult chaperones. Special Camp–Ins are also available for families.
