Dig up fun at our Dino-Snore Camp-In!

Did dinosaurs fly and swim? Is a dimetrodon really a dino? How can I be a fossil some day? What did triceratops like to eat? We will explore these questions and more at the Dino-Snore Camp-In! Succeed in your adventure and receive a patch to wear as a badge of honor. Topics include geology, paleontology, biology, and ecology.

THE FINE PRINT
Be prepared to request a first and second choice of dates on your registration form.

A deposit of $500.00 or full payment, whichever is less, is required to hold your space.

The minimum grade level for OMSI Camp-Ins is third grade.

You must have a group of at least 5 children and 1 adult to register. Several groups are usually combined to reach minimum numbers. In the event that a scheduled Camp-In does not reach minimum numbers, the OMSI Camp-Ins office will contact you at least 30 days in advance of your scheduled Camp-In to attempt to reschedule your Camp-In. If you cannot reschedule, OMSI will refund your deposit in full. OMSI Museum Camp-In programs are limited to 300 people, including adults.
