Discover the excitement of railroading at the Southeastern Railway Museum’s fun and enriching 5-day summer camp! This year’s theme is En-Gauging with Trains. Young railroaders will explore different scales and gauges of trains and railroads, including model railroads, miniature trains (like our park train), narrow-gauge railroads, and standard-gauge railroads.
Our 2019 Summer Railway Camp dates are:
June 17-21
July 22-26

Participants may register online (please note there is a separate registration for each session) or by sending a check along with the forms that will be posted in the coming weeks. Included in the fee is a T-shirt for every camper, so please make sure to indicate your child’s T-shirt size so we can order enough of each.
