The Overnight Program costs $50 per person for both youth and adults.

Programming is suitable for ages 8 and up.

Reservation & Deposit
Any youth group can reserve an available night. Participants must be at least 7 years old and the group must provide chaperones. Once you find a date that works for you, fill out the Overnight Reservation Request Form.
When your reservation is confirmed, a $200 deposit is required with in 14 days. The $200 non-refundable deposit will hold your group’s spot and will be deducted from your final payment. Fill out the Overnight Deposit Form to pay your deposit.
The amount of participants that you reserve with at this point is what you are financially responsible for. If you wish to change this number without being penalized, you must confirm, in writing, any attendance changes with the Overnight Coordinator 45 days before your Overnight.
