Join us and learn the basic fundamentals of creating fire! This is a hands-on class covering topics such as The Fire Triangle, how to prepare, construct and maintain a fire, improvised fire starting methods, fire lays and much more! Please note that we will NOT be covering fire with a bow drill.

When & Where to Meet

Arrive by 9:45 AM. Meet at the Pavilion, just off of Parking Lot A.  Plan ahead, as the Natural Area often experiences heavy visitation and wait time at the fee booth.
