model railroading Summer Camps 2024
Photo from 2019 Summer Camp
Our ever-popular model railroad camp introduces beginner modelers to the basics of creating a mock model railroad. Older campers will create a working model railroad.
Campers paint, plaster, lay track and construct a mini-town, complete with buildings, trees, trains, and people!
All SDMRM camps are immersive, hands-on, and led by enthusiastic education professionals.
Camp COVID-19 protocols will align with museum safety requirements and all requirements from California Department of Public Health.
