Celebrating National Campfire Day
Did you know that National Campfire Day is the first Saturday in August and National S’mores Day is August 10th? Sitting around a campfire with family and friends can be a fun and relaxing experience. You can enjoy it nearly anywhere - a backyard, at a campout, in your local park, by the shore - anyplace you can safely build a fire on the ground or in a firepit.
Make your campfire extra special with these activities:
Cook a tasty meal over the fire.
Roast marshmallows for S’mores. Get creative by substituting peanut butter cups for chocolate bars or oatmeal raisin cookies for graham crackers. Or try adding a slice of bacon for a sweet and salty treat.
Sing a few campfire songs or take turns telling stories.
If you’re far enough away from city lights, spend some time stargazing and see if you can find constellations.
Play fun games like Charades, Chinese Whispers, Mafia or Two Truths and a Lie.
Get outdoors and celebrate these fun holidays with family and friends!
