Juniors

The Lincoln Gem & Mineral Club youth group began participating in the Future Rockhounds of America (FRA) program, sponsored by the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies, in 2013. Since following the curriculum of the program at that time, we have had five juniors graduate to "Rockhound."

The group is currently led by Barb Ogg and Brett Jurgens. There are 27 paid memberships in the group.  Each month, a new lesson is taught and a new specimen is gifted to each child for their club-provided specimen box.

Open to ages 6 through 15.

$3 per year membership (with responsible adult). All youth must have a responsible adult with them at all club meetings and functions. (No drop-offs) This is for their safety should something unforeseen happen.

Meetings: Lincoln Firefighters Reception Hall at 6:15 p.m. on the third Sunday of January (following the Mid-Winter Swap); Bethany Park Shelter House on the third Thursday of February, March, April, May, September, October, November; and the first Sunday of December. (There are no meetings in June, July, or August, but watch for fun events to participate in over the summer months.) Always check the website and email for any changes.

Notification of any last-minute changes will be sent to members via email.
