Summer Railroad Camps
The National Railroad Museum’s week-long summer camps offer the perfect blend of education and excitement for young train enthusiasts. Campers travel from across the state—and even across the country—to take part in our hands-on camps that bring the world of railroading to life.
From operating an authentic 1800s handcar and building HO scale train models to crafting creative train-themed projects, every day is packed with discovery and fun. Along the way, campers dive into the rich history of trains while making new friends who share their passion for railroads.
