Setting the Scene

Start by setting up a comfortable seating area around your fire pit or indoor fireplace. Gather blankets, cushions, and outdoor chairs to create a cozy circle. Decorate the area with fairy lights or lanterns to add a magical touch.

Campfire Snacks

A campfire night isn’t complete without delicious snacks. Prepare classic campfire treats like s’mores, hot dogs, and popcorn. You can even make fun variations, such as creating gourmet hot dog toppings.

Activities for All Ages

Storytelling: Share stories, funny anecdotes, or tales from your own camp experiences. Encourage each family member to contribute a story.
Sing-Alongs: Campfire songs are a staple of Camp IAWAH. Print out lyrics to your favorite campfire songs or create a family playlist. Bring out the guitar if someone in the family plays.
Stargazing: If you’re outside, take advantage of the night sky. Use a stargazing app to identify constellations and planets, or simply lie back and enjoy the stars.

Campfire Safety

Ensure safety by keeping water or a fire extinguisher nearby, and never leave the fire unattended. If indoors, use a flameless option like an electric fireplace or candles.
 
Recreating a Camp IAWAH campfire night at home is a delightful way to bond with your family. There is nothing better than spending an evening sharing stories, songs, and laughter around the fire.
