The mission of the Santa Lucia Rockhounds is to serve the northern San Luis Obispo County by promoting the study of rocks, minerals, gems, and fossils as well as the natural sciences concerned with the Earth’s formation and geology.

Meetings feature guest speakers on varied topics of interest to club members and include a separate activity for kids, a drawing, silent auction, refreshments and time for socializing. Outside of meetings there are field trips and other fun events.

Kids make up over 25% of our club membership! In addition to getting the chance to build their own collections, kids are enrolled in the the national Future Rockhounds of America (FRA) program and can earn badges.
