Camp-Ins

Arr matey, this not be yer ever' day sleepover!

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 Camp-In Program provides a fun and welcoming environment that encourages science through exploration. Join us for our 26th Camp-In Season (the year of the pirates!) 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 an hour-long "Explore Science" workshop, where they are engaged in hands-on science activities. 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!
