If your child is interested in trains or model railroading, come join us for a fun and enriching 5-day summer camp at the Southeastern Railway Museum. The theme for 2019 is En-Gauging With Trains.
Check out the tri-fold brochure!
During camp, young rail enthusiasts will learn about different scales and gauges of trains and model railroads. Campers will get up close with N-scale model railroads, full-size standard gauge trains, and everything in between! This unique experience will introduce young minds to a lifelong hobby of model railroading and differences in scale. Your child will also take a ride on two operating trains as part of their rail education. Children may bring their own HO- scale models to run on the Museum’s new fully-decorated layout.
Our camp is for ages 4 to 12. Campers will divide into three different age groups during the program. Children must be 4 years old at the start of the camp and no older than 12 by the end of the camp. On the last day of camp, we invite parents and family members to join us for a graduation ceremony and a train ride for everyone.
June 17-21
