Would you like to sleep aboard the USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier docked on Manhattan’s west side in the Hudson River? Now is your chance. Pack 24 is participating in Operation Slumber!
What exactly is Operation Slumber?
The Intrepid Museum’s Operation Slumber Overnight program is an incredible opportunity for organized youth groups and families to discover what it takes to live, eat and sleep aboard the Intrepid. Intrepid is better than ever and all yours from sunset until sunrise the following day.
Get exclusive access to the ship and Space Shuttle Pavilion, and sleep among the aircraft, just like enlisted sailors once did.
