A summary
Give your child an unforgettable day packed with fun, learning, and new friendships at Fat Squirrel Outdoor’s Fire and Feast Camp! Our camp runs from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm and offers the perfect opportunity for kids to spend the day outdoors, engaging in exciting and educational activities. Children will get to try their hand at throwing axes (safely supervised), learn essential bushcraft skills like starting a fire, and enjoy cooking tasty food over the campfire. There’s also time for exploring, building shelters, and playing fun outdoor games that will keep them active and entertained. For those moments when they need a bit of downtime, we have tree hammocks where they can relax and watch the leaves sway above, giving them a peaceful break from the fast-paced world. Let your child experience a day in the woods that balances adventure, learning, and relaxation—all in a safe, nurturing environment. Sign them up for a day they’ll always remember!
