Registration is closed.

The cost is $85/person (adults & children)

On Saturday, December 14th, boarding begins at 5:00pm and concludes at 6:30PM. If you arrive earlier than 5:00pm, you may visit our Visitor Center and our Ship’s Store, which is in our Visitor’s Center. Everyone must be off the Ship by noon the following day. Dinner and a tour will be provided.

Parking will be in the Parking Garage located at 10 Delaware Ave., Camden, NJ. The garage closes promptly at 7:00pm and will reopen at 7:00am the next morning. If for some reason, you are going to be arriving later than 7:00pm, you need to contact the Overnight Encampment emergency number 609-868-4166 ASAP, so we can make alternate arrangements.

There will be shuttle service Saturday night and Sunday morning, to take you back and forth from the parking garage and the Ship. If your vehicle is over the maximum height requirements of the garage at 10 Delaware Ave., (6’ 7”) you will need to park at 100 Clinton Street instead of the parking garage. Also, if you are driving a “dually” you cannot park in the parking garage, and you must park the vehicle on Clinton Street. Clinton Street is on the Ship’s property and is a short walk.
