Imagine a campground filled with a giant movie screen, high-tech exhibits, extraordinary science learning opportunities, a live theatre performance, great food, and maybe even the chance to sleep next to a dinosaur. Sound thrilling?

The Science Museum of Minnesota's Overnight Camp-In Program has provided a fun and welcoming environment that encourages science through exploration since 1986. Join us this season and become immersed in the excitement and wonder of science, while investigating the museum's exhibit halls, watching a live science demonstration, and viewing the museum's current Omnitheater film. Participants also attend a fifty minute "Explore Science" workshop, where they are engaged in hands-on science activities facilitated by professional Science Museum instructors. But the fun and learning doesn't stop there. Added to this, is the magic of spending the night in the Science Museum's extraordinary exhibit halls!
