Knowing how to build a fire in a survival situation is critical, and in this workshop participants will be able to learn and practice the basics of fire building with our Maine Guides. Topics discussed include the fire triangle, material needed, how/where to collect material and fire safety. For this class we will be using natural materials, but lighting with a match. For those who master building a quick fire, there will be opportunities to try starting the fire with ferro rod and complete a water boiling challenge.

Families, individual adults and all ages welcome! This is not a drop-off class for children and takes place outside. Outhouse-style bathrooms available.
