Included with your family membership, the program introduces kids to the many facets of earth’s geology and composition with science and fun, and hands on projects. Occasionally there will be Field Trips designed especially for the Kids. The Cobb County Gem & Mineral Society’s Junior Rockhound program is suitable for ages 8 and up, but parental attendance is required. The CCGMS Junior Rockhounds meet at 10:00 am the first Saturday of every month (usually) at the Cobb County Gem & Mineral Society Clubhouse. Oh…and be sure to visit the Juniors fence line rock pile (or donate some yourself)!

The Junior RockHounds met on December 2, 2023 and had their Christmas party and made Snowflakes and and earrings and bracelets. We had plenty of sparkling beads thanks to a donation from Pat Brown. We had so many beautiful snowflakes . We also had cookies and candy. Everybody had a great time.

Most of the field trips that are set up by CCGMS or one of our affiliates is accessable to the Junior Rockhounds, pending parental permission. These trips include fossil hunting, prospecting, and much more! Several times a year, there are special Field Trips set up just for the Junior Rockhounds.

Junior Rockhounds have access to the classes specially curated for them. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the materials and make beautiful works of art.

One of the most fun parts of being a member of CCGMS is access to the workshop. This benefit is extended to all members, including the Junior Rockhounds.

We provide safety classes on how to properly use the machines.
