Campfire tales and S'mores
There’s something timeless about campfire stories and s’mores—they connect generations, spark imaginations, and remind us why we love camping in the first place. "Campfire tales and s'mores" refers to the tradition of sharing stories, often scary or adventurous, around a fire while enjoying the classic campfire treat made of graham crackers, chocolate, and a toasted marshmallow. This combination is a timeless camping activity that connects people, sparks imagination, and is a favorite way to end a day of outdoor recreation. Good for all ages, younger children may need assistance with the marshmallows. If the weather does not let us have a wood campfire, we will use a small propane "campfire". Program will be held near the Lake Alice Campground.
