A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

Dear Teachers,

I have been blessed with the opportunity to live my dreams. Discovering the California Gold Country some 26 years ago, enabled me to find my true self and, in the process I learned how to find gold. During the intervening years, I have shared this experience and knowledge with school children and the thousands of visitors who have come to my Jimtown 1849 Gold Mining Camp. In 1997 another dream of mine came true. I was able to establish the Gold Prospecting Adventures Scholarship Fund. Simply stated, is for the people who have visited my camp and wish to share that adventure with our youth. With this education fundraising program which I have developed, I link the generations together to offset some of the cost and give more school children the opportunity to visit a real gold mining camp. It has always been my belief that sharing Gold Rush history with our youth ensures the strength and the pioneer spirit needed to take us into the 21st century. My legacy is to promote that spirit.

Those who forget their past, lose their future. As every good educator knows, discovery is the best teacher: hands-on activities facilitate learning. By touching the past at our Jimtown 1849 Gold Mining camp, our children enhance their connection to the past through the experience of living history, thus enriching their sense of the present and using it as a road map to the future.

In Memory of Ralph “Sierra” Shock World Famous Gold Prospector
