time does the camp-in start and end?
Camp-in
check-in is at 6:00 p.m. The camp-in
is over at 10:00 a.m. the next day. lf you would
like to spend more time in the museum, you can
get your hand stamped and return when the museum
opens
to the public.

No.
We provide a evening snack and breakfast the next
morning.
Can we bring our own
food?
No. If someone in your troop has a food allergy
or medical reason that requires special dietary
restrictions, please contact Louise Schaeffler,
at least 2 weeks before the camp-in.
·My other child wants
to attend. What is the cost for a sibling?
Siblings
pay the same as a scout.
·We
want to work on two badges, is that possible?
No, due to the time
it takes to complete a badge we can only complete
one a night.
Can an individual scout
participate in the camp-in or does the whole troop
need to participate?
Yes. If we have another troop
booked and have room in the camp-in you can sign-up
individually.
What do we need to
bring?
Sleeping bag, toothbrush, other toiletries,
and we recommend some kind of pad or air mattress.
Can I get a refund
if someone cancels at the last minute?
A refund
of 80% of the program cost will be given if you
cancel 10 business days before the camp-in,
no refunds will be given after that date.
Can I add scouts after
the final payment has been made?
If there is room
available and payment is received before the camp-in.
Are there other groups
camping with us that night?
Yes. Scouts of the
same level and type will be combined in the classroom
portion
of the evening.
During a camp-in there may be Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts
and school groups present, but they sleep on different
floors at night and use separate bathrooms.
Does the price include
an IMAX?
Unfortunately, we do not include an
IMAX in our camp-in. Many of the IMAX movies
at
night are rated
PG,, PG-13 and R and they are not appropriate for
all ages. If you would like to add a movie to your
camp-in contact Louise Schaeffler to discuss your
options.
Do you provide the
badges, belt loops, pins, etc. that the scouts
have earned?
We provide a VASC Camp-in patch but
not the official scout awards.
Do members to the museum
get a discount?
We do not offer member discounts on
Group Events.
Who can do rockets?
We think
that rockets are fun, really fun, so all Cub Scouts,
Boy Scouts, Junior Girl
Scouts and
Cadette/Senior/Ambassador Girl Scouts can build
rockets.
What are the minimum
numbers required to book a camp-in?
We require a
minimum of 10 scouts and 2 adults ($330.00) per
program. If you do not
have the minimum
amount but another troop has already booked you
can be added to their numbers.
