Summer Evenings Around the Campfire



Enjoy a summer campfire with your family and friends



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).

S'More make any summer campfire better


Activities: 

Parachute Games (before it gets dark):  see our blog post for Parachute Game Ideas

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.
