Steamtown NHS offers two Junior Ranger programs - one for children ages 6-8, the other for ages 9-12 - that may enhance your visit! For our youngest visitors, we also offer a special "Exploring Steamtown" activity sheet that offers children another opportunity to have fun exploring the museums with their parents. The programs are designed to be completed using Park resources during a site visit. Programs are available at the Visitor Center at no charge, and must be submitted to the Visitor Center attendant no later than 1 hour prior to Park closing.

(Note: The Junior Ranger programs and Exploring Steamtown activity sheets are not available for education or Scout groups, and are not available for use outside the Park.)

Also, our Children's Discovery Center, open on select weekend days, offers two programs for children ages 5 to 10 featuring "hands-on" child-friendly learning and multimedia presentations. Click on the link above for more info. 

Each summer, Steamtown NHS partners with the National Railway Historical Society to present a RailCamp at the Park. This week long program for high school students introduces them to modern railroading, historic preservation and operations, and interpretation of railroad history. Click to learn more about RailCamp.
