"Pack as much adventure as you can into a 12-hour visit to Base Camp! Lock-in programs begin at 8 p.m. and wrap up the following morning at 8 a.m. From 8:30 p.m.- 11:30 p.m., trained Base Camp Guides will lead awesome activities like rock climbing and archery. We'll take a break from the activities, halfway through the night, for a pizza party. After the activities end at 11:30pm, it's time for a movie on the big screen! Following the show, participants can go to bed or get the full experience by staying up all night!" That said, we'll need to be getting some sleep so we can function the rest of the weekend.
