Check out our OMSI Education Programs 2009–2010 Catalog for lots of great ideas!
Camp-Ins
Perfect for school, scouting, homeschool, youth, and church groups. Plan it as a "bonding" trip, an end-of-the-year celebration, or just for fun! Whether in the museum or on the submarine, it's guaranteed to be a camping experience that's warm, safe, and dry any time of year!
Museum Camp-In: Argh! Pirates
Ahoy, mateys! This new and exciting program teaches orienteering and compass skills, as campers try to find the hidden treasure (just watch out for the pirates trying to lead you astray). Answer the captain's questions, find the treasure, and you won't go home empty handed! Activities are aligned with state content standards for science, and provide plenty of opportunity for team-building and problem-solving. Every effort will be made to separate elementary (grades 3-5) and middle school (grades 7-8) student, but groups may be combined to meet minimum enrollment requirements. Grade 6 students may camp with either group.
Museum Camp-Ins include dinner, snack, and continental breakfast; OMNIMAX movie; submarine tour; and museum admission the following day.
Grades 3-8 • 4:30 p.m. -9:30 a.m. following day • $42/person
