The Amsterdam foundation "Youth and Students" has access to two very special means of transportation: a camping train and a camping boat. The train consists of eight carriages that belong together and together form a completely equipped youth centre. In summertime the train is taken outside and acts as a camp site for about fifty young people from Amsterdam. The staff consists of students.
