About this Event

ALL ABOARD! The 2026 Model Railroad Summer Camp is here!

Ready to go beyond the tracks? This June, the Lehnis Railroad Museum is opening its doors for an immersive, three-day experience designed for young creators and explorers ages 8–14!

Our Model Railroad Summer Camp combines the art of model building with the real-world science of railroading. Here is what’s in store for your camper:

Design. Build. Exhibit.

Campers will get hands-on as they design and construct their very own model train diorama piece, complete with scenery and accessories. Once finished, their work will be featured in a special week-long exhibit in our museum gallery before heading home!

Learn from the Pros

We’re bringing in industry experts from TNW Corporation/TXR Railway and TX DOT to talk about train safety, awareness, and the vital role railroads play in our world today.

Inside the Roundhouse

On the final day, we head outside to the mini train area. Campers will step into the shoes of a Conductor and Brakeman to learn exactly what it takes to keep a train moving safely and efficiently.

Camp Essentials:

Price per camper: $60
Dates: June 16–18
Times: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Ages: 8–14

Perks: Every camper receives a custom camp T-shirt and daily snacks!

The Grand Finale Showcase

On the final day at 3:30 PM, we invite family and friends to join us for a special gallery showcase. Come see the campers' final products put together and enjoy light refreshments while we celebrate their hard work!

Space is limited to ensure a quality experience for every student. Register today to secure your spot!
