Kid’s Day Camp and Mining Experience for Summer 2011

   Boy, have we got some great plans for this summer! John is finally seeing his vision for an actual gem stone mine come into a reality. Excavation has begun on the mine, and our new sluice boxes are being built as I type. Deandra and I are plotting out a kid’s day camp for July and August. We have so many plans swirling around inside our heads! John is as excited as we are. Today I talked with some people who are already making plans to come back just for the kid’s day camp when they are down on the peninsula for fishing next month. We will incorporate rock lessons and trivia with the gem stone mine  and the gem stone sluice boxes, as well as Prospector John’s gold panning show. Hopefully we can get kids excited about rocks and gems.  They’ll be able to take home all the treaures they pan or mine for, and cool trivia about rocks that they can share with their family or class. We are aiming for something teacher’s can use to supplemant their geology lessons with. We will keep you updated on the details of the kid’s day camp, activities, and prices, as soon as they are official. Meanwhile, plan to come see us this summer so you can experience our gold panning and gem panning for yourself. By the time all of John’s ideas are carried out, this place is going to look like an Alaska DisneyLand! It’s going to be awesome!! Make sure to include us in your summer plans, and don’t forget to smile at somebody today!..      ~Wendy~
