The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is accepting registrations for the 15th annual Barons and Builders summer day camp, where children gain exposure to a full "STEAM" experience: science, technology, engineering, arts and math. Children are immersed in all things railroading during this five-day program, where they explore the museum, railroad history and the railroad industry through a variety of tours, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
Campers will be active and involved in the creative and learning process, tour limited-access railroad equipment and areas in the museum, ride roundtrip aboard Amtrak from Lancaster to a set destination, design and build model train cars to take home, ride a historic Strasburg Rail Road train, meet real railroaders to learn about their jobs, and more.
Camp will be in session from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, except for the day of the train trip on Amtrak. Barons and Builders summer day camp for children ages 9 and 10 will take place from Monday, July 8, through Friday, July 12, while day camp for children ages 11 and 12 will be held from Monday, July 22, through Friday, July 26.
Participation will be limited to 15 campers per session on a first-come, first-served basis. A cost per camper has been set, with a discount for current Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania members. The deadline for registration is Friday, June 7. Registration forms and more information are available at http://www.rrmuseumpa.org.
