Camp-Ins

Your overnight adventure is waiting for you!


McWane Science Center offers overnight Camp-Ins year-round for School Groups, Scout Troops (both boys and girls), Church Groups, and more. As the lights dim, you and your group will head out in search of adventure. Climb the stairs and you’re face-to-face with a real dinosaur! Set up camp next to your favorite exhibit.
