I am planning for my Scout pack to do this. Can anyone that has done this fill me in on the details?
 
My son's Cub Scout Pack is doing this the third weekend in February. My wife and I went to Sea World 12 years ago before we had children so I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I am beginning to do research on this trip and am subscribing to this thread in the hopes of finding out more info.

My understanding is that we will arrive approximately 5:00-6:00 on the Friday afternoon. We will be provided pizza for dinner and sleep in one of the attractions/exhibits and will be provided breakfast on the Saturday morning plus have all day Saturday in the park. Beyond that I really don't have a lot of details.
 
Never done it myself, but have several friends who are SW Educators who do these all the time. Basically, as Minnie's Mate said, you meet at a special entrance, the pack has a classroom/tour experience in the early evening, has pizza for dinner, then sleeps on the floor in one of the exhibits, right outside the tanks. I know the shark exhibit and manatee exhibit are both used, others may be as well.

It always sounds like something I would have enjoyed as a kid, but in my old age no way I'm sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor. ;)

Obviously, you are escorted all night, with two or three Educators accompanying your group. Even if you have to use the bathroom at 2:00 a.m., you have to be escorted out, then escorted back.
 

My son did the Junior High Career Camp at Sea World Orlando last summer. Two of the nights they slept at animal venues. One night they were in the Wild Artic by the Polar Bears and Beluga whales. Then they slept at the Marriott Residence Inn for a few nights. The last night they slept by the Dolphins. Mats were provided to put their sleeping bags on. I'm just guessing that you might sleep at one of these venues. If the quality of this camp is any indication of what your overnight experince will be like, you're in for a real treat.
