One of the most fondest camping memories is the camp fire. They provide heat for warmth and cooking as well as set that perfect atmosphere. Sitting around the campfire roasting marshmellows and telling stories is the perfect end to the day. Below are some important rules to remember:

• Keep water nearby in case of emergency and to soak coals when done.
• Closely supervise children at all times.
• Clear at least a 3 foot area free of leaves, pine needles, and dry grass around your chosen campfire location.
• Pitch your tent at least 15 feet away from the fire.
• Never use candles or matches inside a tent - only battery powered light.
