If your family is like ours, it just isn’t camping without a good rip-roarin’ fire. Here are some things that you can do while enjoying the warmth of a fire on a summer evening.
Cooking
Anyone who camps will tell you that everything tastes better when it is cooked over a fire. Roasting hot dogs on a stick is a fun way to get everyone involved with making dinner and foil-pack recipes are a great way to let dinner cook itself with a minimum of prep time. And of course, when it comes time for dessert nothing beats roasted marshmallows and smores!
Campfire Stories
Whether spooky or silly, campfire stories are a great way to spend time around the fire. For a twist, try starting a story and let everyone add a little bit. You may be surprised where the story ends.
Singing
Even if you’re not a Justin Bieber, you can still have fun singing around the campfire. Try an old standard or let the younguns teach you what is new in the world of music.
Children’s games
Games like “Telephone”, “Biz-Buzz” or “Frog” are great campfire games. See how many times you can make it around the campfire before you have to start over!
