Summer Camp 2023
Looking for a fun, unique summer camp experience for your child? The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is hosting STEAM-focused summer camps for children ages 6 – 12. Camps combine science, technology, engineering, art, and math along with local history. Our camps are packed full of educational content, hands-on activities, and loads of fun! All camps include behind-the-scenes tours, interactive guided tours of our collection and exhibits, and rides on several of our fully-restored antique trolleys. These programs provide youth with opportunities to discover new STEAM-focused interests, meet new friends, and make exciting memories. Registration is now open!
