Scout Sleepovers- RETURNING IN THE FALL!

Imagine sleeping under the majestic canopy, under the stars of the rainforest and waking to the sounds of howler monkeys or tree frogs. An Eco Adventures sleepover in our simulated rainforest is an experience your troop will never forget! First comes an evening of exciting activities that include a presentation with animal interactions, or possible flashlights or “eye shining” in the rainforest, games, wildlife craft (choose either sharks or nocturnal, biolumicent animals). Get a green screen photo with an animal as a souvenir of this unforgettable experience....AND of course, popcorn and a movie!  By then, (perhaps) your scouts will be ready to sleep the night away in the safety and comfort of our indoor facility. In the morning, enjoy a continental breakfasts and do a morning feeding and training of some of our animals.   Our educators can even customize activities to help meet merit badge requirements! Email for more information on customizable merit badge experiences and available sleepover dates.  

*Dates can be any Friday or Saturday based on availability.

By Marc Bass Cub Scout Leader troop 209

Spent the night at Eco Adventures last night on a Cub Scout sleep over working on the boys Wildlife Conservation requirements and had an awesome time!!..The boys loved it!!..We had a special treat "Dr. Brady Barr(National Geographic)", his wife, Mei Len, Anne & support staff taught the boys about natural resources, camouflage, animal tracks, endangered species, habitats and our impact on them!!..The animal interactions were amazing…hissing cockroaches, tarantulas, scorpions, chameleons, alligators, crocs and a BIG python!!..they played games, made and painted casts of fossils, claws and shark teeth, had popcorn, late night movie on the BIG screen, had breakfast together and our souvenir photos holding a snake or alligator and then sadly enough had to say goodbye…If you are looking for a cool Scout sleep over or School trip idea, call Mei Len at Eco Adventures!!.. They are an awesome establishment to work with!!..Thank you for everything!!..and see you again soon!!”

“Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that my girl scout troop had a great time on Saturday morning. Aimee was absolutely fantastic with the girls. I imagine you will be seeing lots of my scouts again for other activities that you sponsor too. Thanks again and I'll be back in another year for my younger daughters troop.”
