This page contains a list of clubs in Canada with a broad interest in rocks, minerals, gems, lapidary and fossils. Most clubs organize field trips to collect minerals or fossils. Some offer workshops on basic mineral and fossil identification, or some lapidary technique. These clubs are ideal for those who have little or no knowledge in the earth sciences and wish to gain a basic understanding about rocks and minerals.
Nearly all these clubs are suitable for children. Some offer educational activities. For more information, attend a monthly meeting or contact a club directly.
