One of the gifts that I’m most excited to give the kids this year is a sleepover at the Museum, with the Dinosaur Fossils at Royal Tyrrell. How does it work? First, you make the trip to Drumheller, and arrive at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Next, you check-in at 6:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Camp runs overnight from 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Camp-Ins are for children 5 – 13 years old only. Children under the age of five, including babies and toddlers, are not permitted to attend any portion of the Camp-In program due to the age level of programming and safety concerns for both small children and the exhibits. There must be at least one adult per five kids taking part in the camp-in program.
How much does it cost?
The cost for the camp in is $44.00/child or youth (camper) · $44.00/chaperone. Admission includes: bedtime snack (banana bread, yogurt, fruit & beverages) + breakfast (pancakes, bacon, cereal, fruit & beverages). When you take into account the fact that you’re getting two meals included with the programming, it’s actually really, really affordable.
