This exciting project now in its fourth year is designed to provide background in rail history, preservation, railroad operations and transportation career opportunities to high school students either male or female from the 9th through 12th grades. The week-long camp will provide the forum for teenagers with similar interest to learn about the fascinating rail history movement, while at the same time, sharing those ideas with their peers from around the United States. Counselors for the week-long activity will come from the ranks of the National Railway Historical Society, consisting of more than 17,000 members in some 174 chapters throughout the United States. Instructors will be National Park Service rangers at the well-known Steamtown National Historic Site, assisted by NRHS volunteers. Meals will be provided in the University's dining facilities each day of the camp, and counselors will be on site 24 hours daily.
Students are responsible for their transportation to and from Scranton.
The Delaware Valley Chapter, NRHS will sponsor up to three candidates by providing fees for the full week. Entries must be received no later than Monday May 14, 2001. All interested persons are invited to become members.
