About

Spend a fall weekend on Minnesota’s North Shore exploring the geology of the Lake Superior region. This hands-on workshop introduces the forces that shaped the area, with a focus on the formation of Lake Superior agates—Minnesota’s state gemstone.

Learn how to identify agates, discover the best hunting techniques, and then practice your skills during a field trip in the scenic Finland area, where you can search for your own treasures.

Ideal for rockhounds, geology enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to the natural beauty of the North Shore, the workshop offers both learning and adventure.

Programs take place on the Wolf Ridge campus and surrounding sites, with lodging and meals included. Each participant selects one workshop but can connect with other groups during shared meals and evening activities.
