Upcoming Events

Join CAMS members at these upcoming events, shows and contests.

We meet the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 531 Glendale Avenue, Lansing. Our next meetings are March 5, April 9 (moved to avoid Holy Week events) and May 7.

We also have a build night most months and usually starting at 6:30 p.m. The next will be May 20 at Tanuki’s Trading Post, 1236 Turner Rd. and June 17 at Evolution Games, 932 Elmwood Rd. Bring your latest project and all your questions and suggestions for a group chat session.

A new feature at our meetings is a silent auction benefitting the club. If you have kits you no longer want, bring them to the meeting and give your clubmates a chance to bid. If you have an item to donate, you can use this form to track bids.
