In this exciting Junior Rockhound class, young explorers will embark on a journey to learn all about field trips! Our first session will focus on essential field trip etiquette, safety guidelines, and the AFMS Code of Ethics, which is required to earn their badge. Participants will discover how to responsibly and safely explore the outdoors, respect nature, and ensure they follow the best practices for ethical rockhounding. This foundational knowledge will prepare them for future rockhounding adventures, helping them to be safe, respectful, and successful in the field!
Join us for an exciting Junior Rockhound class where young geologists will dive into the fascinating world of cataloging specimens! In this hands-on session, participants will learn how to identify different rocks and minerals, journal their unique characteristics, and carefully label each specimen with a glued-on ID. This is a perfect opportunity for budding rockhounds to enhance their knowledge, sharpen their observation skills, and create their very own organized collection of treasures from the earth.
