Summer Camp

All aboard for railroad fun & adventure!

Combine fun with learning and relive the "The Wild West", while exploring our gigantic model railroad layouts. Besides arts, crafts, and stories of railroad heroes, campers build models of the first steel rails across the Sierra Nevadas, create their own dream layouts and have a ball on field trips to ride real trains and trollies!
