• A hat (for sun protection)

• Work gloves
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• A water bottle

Safety is the most important rule of Rail Camp as TVRM is an active railroad.  This camp is designed to provide immersive and hands-on experiences in and around full-scale operational railroad equipment within a safe, controlled environment.  Rail Camp is heavy in operations familiarization, and campers will be spending significant periods of time outdoors, around or on moving equipment, and in areas typically not accessible to the general public where safe conduct is mandatory.  When considering the suitability of Rail Camp for your child, note that campers enrolled in the program are required to abide by all established safety rules including the following:

– Follow all directions the first time given without exception

-Collaborate with their peers to maintain a safe environment

-Maintain safe and agreeable behavior with staff and peers in all areas at all times.

Campers must abide by TVRM’s strict code of conduct at all times, without exception.

Due to overwhelming demand of many session dates, our process for Rail Camp applications is by completed registration form submission via email and a random selection of registrants from completed applications to be most equitable to those desiring a chance to attend.   This lottery takes more coordination on the front end for processing, requiring some patience from registrants, as we strive to provide an equitable chance for potential applicants to participate in the Rail Camp experience.
