MMC Juniors March Meeting
2025-03-16 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | Zoom Meeting
We are so excited to be kicking off the MMC Juniors series in 2025 with our first MMC Juniors meeting on March 16th from 2-4pm. At our first meeting, we will get to know each other, learn about what the badge program entails and then get into a guided activity. Meetings will all be virtual at this time, so join us on zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85427477031?pwd=[REDACTED]

All kids participating in the program will receive a Future Rockhounds of America (FRA) Membership Patch.

The first badge we will work on earning together is the Rocks & Minerals badge. Each kiddo will need to complete 3 activities in the FRA curriculum related to this badge.

If you would like to check out the activity options for earning the Rocks & Minerals badge, check it out here: https://www.juniors.amfed.org/fra-badge-program/the-badges/rocks-minerals. Kids are welcome to work through the activities on their own. The club sessions will afford the opportunity to work through two activities (the minimum requirement for a badge) over the course of two MMC Juniors meetings. Additionally, the RRN will feature instructions for doing an activity at home. Thus, over the course of two months, kids should be able to earn a badge using our guided meetings & RRN content.

When a kiddo completes the minimum three activities, a badge completion form can be completed and sent in to juniors@minnesotamineralclub.org and MMC will certify that FRA send the badge out to your family.

At our next meeting we will be exploring Mineral Identification and each kiddo will learn how we use various tests to determine what a mineral is.

MMC Juniors July Meeting
2025-07-27 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
What and Where

We are going to venture to the Lakewood Hills Park in White Bear Lake (address and map link below). We would like to meet you all in the main parking lot, which sits behind the YMCA and the White Bear Arena by 1:55pm. Class will run from 2pm-4pm as usual and we ask that parents hang out nearby during that time.

The current weather prediction is looking good for us that day but we are planning on conducting the class in one of the covered structures. As we get closer to the 27th, we will keep an eye on the weather and let you know if anything changes.

Lakewood Hills Park2110 Orchard LnWhite Bear Lake, MN 55110

Bring to Meeting

First, we are going to be doing some sand painting 👀 for one of the activities.

So, kiddos need to make a simple sketch of something they would like to paint. Simple is the key here… see how the examples above are made of large open shapes — encourage your kids to sketch something in a similar way.The sketch should fit into an area that is 5.5″ x 4″.

Second, sand is small so having a good magnifier helps us see the details of the grains. Pick up a magnifying glass or a loupe and have the kids bring it to class. Geologists and rockhounds frequently need magnification so I recommend a loupe because they are small and easy to carry around. Here is a good one on Amazon.

A sketch and a loupe, that’s it!

Clubhouse Grand Opening
2025-09-06 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | MMC Clubhouse, 8147 Pleasant Ave. S., Bloomington, MN, 55420, United States
Since 1945, the mission of the Minnesota Mineral Club has been to encourage interest and education in geology, mineralogy, lapidary and earth sciences.

Multiple attempts over the past 80 years have been made to create a physical location that could be the enduring home of the MMC, act as a classroom, be a space for club meetings, AND a workshop with access to lapidary equipment and training, but all have failed… UNTIL NOW.

A new chapter is beginning on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025 with the Grand Opening of the new clubhouse — The Rockhaus. Your 2025 Minnesota Mineral Club Board of Directors and Clubhouse Committee invite you to join the celebration between 1:00pm-4:00pm. The event is an open house format so come anytime to ask some questions, look around, see the equipment, see what capabilities there are and visit with other members. Refreshments will be provided.
