Who doesn't love a campfire?!? Whether you have the
privilege of heading to a State Park or Recreation facility or whether you have
a fire ring in your backyard, times around the campfire make great memories.
Here are some classic tips for Family Campfire Fun:
Some classic campfire
foods:
S’Mores, Foil Dinners, Hot Dogs, foil-wrapped baked potatoes, corn-on-the-cob baked in water-soaked husks, or melted campfire sandwiches (prepare ahead and throw in the coals to heat).

Story Telling after
dark:
Start with a sentence, then let each
person adds on to the story. See where
it goes! You might try, “I once knew an
old man that lived in the woods. He had
a big dog, a wooden leg, and a beard than was so long it touched the ground!”
or, “There was a flea that lived in a tree whose best friend was a bee.” Or, “
Have each person take turns telling
about a favorite memory from the past summer.
Be very quiet and listen to the
sounds in the woods. Let each person
name a sound they hear and make up a story about it. For instance, if you hear a cricket chirping,
the story could be about a family of crickets getting ready for bed. If you hear the wind rustling the leaves on
the trees, you might make up a story about the leaves getting preparing for an
adventure.
