What to Expect

Let's discuss an essential bushcraft skill - fire! Get hands-on with lighting your own fire with flint & steel and all natural materials. We usually divide students into small groups to work in teams for gathering materials and ire lighting.

We will be making some fireside snacks like cinnamon rolls on a stick, caramel apples, popcorn, wild foraged tea, or whatever is available that day. Let us know if you have any dietary restrictions!

​

This is not a drop off class. Parents of children 12 & under must stay for the duration of the event. We love when parents get involved with this class, as it's a great chance to learn fire safety as a family!

Who is this for?

This program is designed for students ages 6-16, but students ages 4&5 are welcome to participate with parent assistance. Students will be lighting real fires and discussing safety and technique for fire lighting, so keep this in mind when considering whether or not this is for your child. If you need any additional accommodations, feel free to reach out and we can discuss what we are able to provide within reason.

What to Bring

• Water bottle

• Closed-toed shoes

• Hair tied back and no dangling clothing 

• Everything else will be provided! (Let us know if you need to bring your own snacks for dietary purposes.)

Weather

This program is rain or shine. We can take on the extra challenge of wet fire lighting if there is a drizzle and host the event under a shade cover! If it is very rainy or windy, we will reschedule and let you know 12-24 hours in advance.
