Girl Scout Overnights at the

Garden State Discovery Museum!

What?

Girl Scout Overnights are a unique way to complete workshops for a specific badge, play in the museum, and experience a "Camp-In" in an exciting environment! A snack is provided and story/music time will be held in the Theater before bedtime. The following morning the Museum's Discovermore Toy Store will be open to shop for souvenirs! A 50 person minimum is required, so it’s helpful if area troops work together to organize an overnight.

When?

Overnights are scheduled for one Friday a month beginning at 7:30 PM and ending at 8:00 AM the following Saturday.  The 2012 dates are as follows:

February 17/18

March 16/17

April 20/21

May 18/19

Where?

The Garden State Discovery Museum

2040 Springdale Rd.

Cherry Hill, NJ 08003

Camp sites are assigned throughout exhibits on the Museum floor.

Why?

You’ll participate in four different workshops to earn your Senses badge. Plus, there’s time to explore the Museum and have a sing-along with your friends. It’s tons of fun!

How?

Cost is $35 per girl and $20 per adult, and a ratio of 1 adult per 5 girls is required.  A minimum of 50 people is needed for the overnight to run with the maximum number of people at 100. If a council is able to reach that minimum at the time of booking, we can consider adding a date that works for all parties involved.

Please call Paul McElwee, Director of Programs & Education, at 856-424-1233 ext.312 for more information or to book your overnight.
