What does it take to build a "one match" fire? Practice the basics of fire-building with a park ranger and bring those skills to your next camping trip. You'll learn how to scavenge for the right tinder materials, construct a fire-friendly foundation, and keep it roaring steadily and safely (all without using lighter fluid). Of course, all campfires must be tested by roasting marshmallows and making s'mores, so bring your appetite! All ages are welcome.
Registration is required due to limited supplies. To register, please visit or call the Park Office at (804) 598-7128 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily or send an email to powhatan@dcr.virginia.gov.
