Gemboree

Gemboree is an annual gathering on Vancouver Island involving field trips, a tail gate sale, BBQ, and camaraderie. The event attracts up to 100 rockhounds from the Island, the Mainland, and the United States. All ages welcome!

Gemboree has been combined with Rendezvous in 2022. Please see the Rendevous page to learn more about what is slated to be one of the largest gatherings hosted by the BCLS to date.
