Scout Snooze
Attention
scout leaders:
Want to give your scout troop an unforgettable campout? Look no further!
When it comes to a camping with exotic animals, nothing beats the National Zoo. Your troop’s overnight will include wildlife-related activities and a flashlight tour of the nocturnal residents at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.
Scout Snooze campers sleep in four-person tents provided on Lion/Tiger Hill. In the morning, an animal keeper leads them on a two-hour tour of an exhibit area. An evening snack and continental breakfast are provided.
Scout leaders may assign tent arrangements.
Scout Snooze sleepovers are available only to FONZ members. To sign up, one adult per scout group must have a FONZ household membership (or higher). Scout leaders may assign tent arrangements.
Ages
Children ages six and up. A paying adult must accompany all participants under 18, and one adult is required to chaperone every three children.
Time

(A small evening snack will be provided,
but participants should eat dinner before coming to the Zoo. All Zoo

Fee
