Rock Detectives Camp Guide

Create an unforgettable hands-on geology camp with the Rock Detectives Camp Guide!

This complete guide is designed for summer camps, homeschool co-ops, classrooms, science enrichment programs, and families who want a structured, engaging way to teach rock and mineral identification. Created by a professional geologist, it gives you a ready-to-use plan for teaching minerals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and the rock cycle.

The camp is organized into five themed days:

Day 1: Minerals

Day 2: Igneous Rocks

Day 3: Sedimentary Rocks

Day 4: Metamorphic Rocks

Day 5: The Rock Cycle

Each day includes a puzzle, a short lesson, sample identification activities, hands-on experiments, games, and collection-building fun. Kids decorate a rock box, receive daily samples to identify and keep, and build confidence as they learn how geologists classify Earth materials.

Activities include growing salt crystals, making and exploding a volcano, creating edible metamorphic rocks, panning for crystals, playing Rock Bingo, and competing in Rock and Mineral Trivia.

This guide takes the stress out of planning a geology camp and gives you a fun, educational experience kids will remember.

Perfect for camps, classrooms, homeschool groups, and science-loving families. Digital product.
