ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

The Ontario Science Centre runs a fairly successful sleepover program with community groups etc. As I am not in the education department I can't give you specifics but you can access more information on our website at www.ontariosciencecentre.ca then click on What's ON then on Sleepovers. 

From there you can download a brochure and gain the contact information for the education department.

Let me know if you have any difficulty accessing the information.
