Description

This camp week is dedicated to practicing fire making in a safe and fun environment. Campers will learn how to identify and utilize natural firestarters like lighter pine and cedar bark. We'll explore different methods for building the starting structure for their fires. Each camper will get to try out various primitive and modern fire starting methods like a bow drill, steel striker, and ferrocerium rod. Everyday there will be a new opportunity for participants to develop their fire skills. There will even be a chance to cook food over a campfire!

In addition to the theme-related activities listed above, every week of camp will include some classic Schoolhouse activities such as: morning and closing circle, deep woods and field games, water time (weather permitting), whittling, storytelling, and of course, looking for any critters we can find!
