Girl Scouts: Discovery World Sleepover--Open spot! Also, timeline and docs

Hello scout families!

A few things about the Discovery World Sleepover this Friday to Saturday:

First, we had an early cancellation, so there's a spot for an extra girl.  If a parent wants to go with, I had accidentally over-registered parents, so we can get you in too.  (If you're not yet registered as an adult member of Girl Scouts, we'll have to do that though.)

Second, trip details:  For this event, the scouts will meet up AT DISCOVERY WORLD at 6:30.  Please stay with your scout until you've had a chance to contact Ms. Kelly and make the "hand off" directly.

Pickup will be AT DISCOVERY WORLD at 7:00 am.  You should be able to pull right up around the circle in front of the front door to make a pick up.

I've attached two forms for you to fill out.  The first is the Discovery World photo release form.  There is a chance your daughter will get her picture taken while she's doing DW activities (petting sharks, laying on a bed of nails, etc.).  The second is the standard GS permission slip.  Please fill both out and bring them with you on Friday!

Packing List:
Sleeping bag and pillow (adults may bring air mattress or cot, as there is limited space available)
Pajamas and slippers
Flashlight
Change of clothes for next day
Toiletries
Water bottle with your name on it

Eating Information:
Discovery World will provide a small snack on Friday night with items like pretzels/goldfish and juice/water. A breakfast will be served on Saturday morning consisting of muffins, juice, and bars. No food is allowed in the exhibits or sleeping areas. There is a soda/water vending machine available the entire evening, but drinks may not be brought into the exhibit, theater, and lab areas. We do not serve anything containing actual whole nuts. If you have any specific dietary needs, please let us know in advance. You are more than welcome to bring additional snacks, however your personal food cannot be eaten any place but the promenade.

Activities:
The schedule for the event looks like this (at the moment)  Discovery World may change things up a little bit, but not too much:

7:00-7:15pm     Drop Off Supplies, Orientation 
7:15-10:00     Explore!
· The technology building and Aquatarium will be open, along with the Kohl's Design It! lab 
· Girls will have two 30 minute labs during this time
10:00-10:30     Snack on the Promenade
10:45-12:30     Movie Time in our Theaters
12:30         Head to Bed
6:00am     Breakfast along the Promenade
6:45         Pack up to head home
7:00am     Sleepover Ends

From Discovery World:  "The evening's events do include a movie. We will be watching Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian. This movie is rated PG and we feel it's entertaining and educational for the girl scouts of all ages. Adults need to be with girls in the theater during the movie. If you do not wish to watch the movie, you are more than welcome to head to bed early or spend time on the promenade doing quiet activities with adult supervision."

Have a great time!  We sure enjoyed it in February!
