This year we will again be hosting the SRMGS / Sonoma County 4-H Rocks / Lapidary Project. This project is jointly sponsored by the SRMGS as well Sonoma County 4-H. The FIRST Saturday of each month is specifically set aside for 4-H'ers and Juniors.
Official Sonoma County 4-H Website
We encourage juniors (and a parent) to join in the fun on the monthly fieldtrips.
Our junior program will teach young people how to cut, grind, shape and polish rocks & then turn your polished rocks into jewelry! Learn how to identify rocks, minerals and even meteorites! Our Saturday workshops cover a variety of topics geared for Juniors.

The Junior program is open to members between the ages of 8-16 years old. Membership fees can be found on the JOIN page.
The SRMGS workshop is open to Junior's on Saturday's from 9:30 AM to 12:00 NOON.

If your child needs additional supervision, we ask that an adult accompany the junior member to ensure the safety of your child as well as others.
