JUNIOR
ACTIVITIES
Junior members are a very important part of our club and its activities.
Some of our present adult members began as junior members. Prior
to every club meeting, we have a one hour session devoted to juniors.
The club offers three different programs that are self selected.
Junior members also participate in other club functions such as
the workshops and field trips. Is there anything more satisfying
than seeing a 7 year old displaying a pendant that contains a cabochon
that they made from a rock that they found?

Program
- A program for children K-3 based on the AFMS Junior Badge
Program led by Marci Revelli and Danielle LaVilla. Kids will
work toward completion of the Lapidary Badge . We will learn
about lapidary stones, safety with tools in and out of the shop,
and complete several lapidary projects. Additionally this year,
juniors will complete different activities toward their Rock
and Minerals, Collecting, Showmanship and Field Trip Badges.
Some possible activities include rock and mineral identification,
building and displaying a rock collection and planning and attending
field trips. Families will be given a list of badge requirements
so kids can also choose to complete activities on their own
and bring them to share with the group. All junior club members
are welcome to attend. |
