Fire Building and Starting

Naturalist Ann Strauss will teach and demonstrate proper fire-starting and fire-building techniques. Participants will learn how to identify both good kindling and firewood as well as construct a fire primed to burn. Tools will be provided for a variety of fire-starting techniques including bow and drill, magnesium and flint, flint and steel, magnifying glass, and more. After learning the techniques, we will snack on smore’s over our perfect fires! This program is for all ages but is best for children age 6 and up. Register online or call (717) 295-2055 to register and prepay by noon on Wednesday, June 19. $3.00 per person. All ages
