Overnight Camp & Group Options

PLEASE NOTE: We are now booking for Fall 2024 & Winter 2025! 

Our Overnight Stays are designed to give your group an after-hours experience like no other! Grab your sleeping bag and land under the SR-71B Blackbird because you're in for an overnight adventure! Choose from space- or aviation-themed overnight programs!

Our Overnights can include:

• Exciting "hands on" activities and classes
• A glider (aviation theme) or a model rocket (space theme) for each person
• A scavenger hunt
• Admission to explore the museum prior to the Overnight -or- after the Overnight
• Dinner
• Snacks
• Breakfast

The Overnight Stay programs are fun for any group, but can also meet a number of requirements for both the Scouts BSA Aviation or Space Exploration merit badges, the Girl Scout Detectives Badge or Cub Scout Astronomy Badge. Our overnight programs also meet certain elective requirements for Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts (leaders are responsible for recording applicable accomplishments).

Student Overnights can also be adapted to work with your curriculum.
