Ever wished you could spend a night in a cool place like the South Carolina State Museum?
Last year, lots of folks jumped at the opportunity to come to the first public camp-in at the museum, so, by popular demand, the Museum is offering it again. Guests will have their chance on Friday night, April 11 as the Museum presents “Overnight at the State Museum Family Camp-in!”
Recommended for children five to12 years old and accompanying adults, campers will experience a fun-filled evening which includes a special Science Theatre show, a feature-length showing of “Museum and a Movie," make-and-take activities, time in the museum galleries and much more. Also available to guests is a special museum overnight “survival kit” priced at $10.
“The overnight event will offer plenty of safe, family-friendly activities and a look at the museum’s art, natural history, science and cultural history galleries,” said Director of Education and Programs Meika Samuel. “Plus, guests will have a chance to meet some pretty interesting characters along the way.”
The cost for "Overnight at the State Museum" is $25 per child, $15 per adult for the general public; $20 per child, $10 per adult for Friends of the State Museum. Registration deadline is April 7. Space is limited and campers must be pre-registered and accompanied by an adult. Non-registered individuals will not be permitted to attend the event.
A Friday evening snack and Saturday morning breakfast will be provided. Campers will receive information on what they need to bring, when they need to check-in, directions to the museum and other detailed information once reservations have been made.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and activities will begin at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, April 11. Breakfast and Saturday morning activities will end at 9 a.m.
