FAQ's
Are there specific nights just for Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts?
No, all evenings are co-ed. We do our best to separate boys and girls -- we are usually able to have girls sleep in one area while the boys sleep in the other.
What is your adult to child ratio?
We require 1 adult per every 5 children attending the program.
What does snack/breakfast consist of?
Snack – goldfish crackers, granola bars, chips, juice, water, coffee and tea.
Breakfast – cereal & milk, Danish, fruit cups, juice, coffee and tea
What kind of deposit do you require?
A 25% non-refundable deposit is due two weeks after you reserve space, and the remaining balance is due six weeks before your scheduled overnight.
Do Adventure Aquarium Passport Members get a discount?
No, there are no discounts available for the program at this time.
What if my number of participants changes?
Notify us immediately of any significant changes in your numbers so we may make the proper arrangements. However, after we have received your balance, your numbers are locked in. We cannot offer refunds so we suggest you find siblings or other adults to then fill open spaces.
What are the procedures for cancellation?
If the NJAAS needs to cancel a Deep Sleep program, we will first try to reschedule your group. If we cannot find a suitable event time, we will offer a full refund. If your group initiates the cancellation, we cannot refund any money.
Do you run Deep Sleeps every weekend?
No. Deep Sleeps run only on pre-arranged nights.
Where do we park?
Parking is in the garage across the street from the Aquarium. The cost per car is $10.75, due as you enter the garage. The garage is locked at 7:30pm and remains locked until 7:30am.
Are we safe in the middle of Camden?
Yes, the Aquarium is locked and we have a superior Security staff here all night long.
