If this is OK to do, I'd be happy to greet them on arrival (say sunset), explain the requirements for safety with telescopes in the dark, let them have dinner at the chuck wagon (or whatever it's called here) and then direct them to volunteers (eg showing Abirio, Andromeda, Jupiter, Double Cluster) for an hour or so. I could hand out light wands/bracelets to the kids so they could find each other and to the volunteers so the kids could find them.
