Description :

Tend it well and it’ll always be there!  

At GOS, we know that kids love tending fire. They want to light it up and they want to add the wood themselves.  Like adults, they are captivated by the flames and coals, and they soak in the kind of connection that happens around a crackling fire.

This Stoke Your Fire PD Day is about preparing kids for a joyful winter and staying warm. It is about orienting children to the tools, the practices and the etiquette of fire tending. While Stoke Your Fire is full of classic GOS games and adventure, we’ll also take time to:

• Sing our favourite fire songs as we light the first one in the morning

• Tell our favourite fire stories (with practical advice baked right in)

• Review where to find the good tinder, and how to collect the right wood

• Practice fire-making skills: knowing the tools, the safety agreements, the principles, and etiquette of fire tending

As with all GOS programs, this session is hands-on. GOS instructors provide demonstrations and coaching so that young people can safely practice at tending their own fires with their friends.  With the main fire burning all day long, we’ve got lots of room for trial and error, failures and successes.

Stoke Your Fire  is designed to support kids in feeling capable, helpful and connected when it comes to fire tending, whether it’s in the backyard, or back-country.  See you out there!

Notes : GOS PD programs let you breathe easy knowing your kid is outside with caring adults who are trained to support the growth and relationship development of children and nature.  Wait 'til you see their end of day smiles and hear the stories. PD Days are rain or shine.  Sun, snow, gusts, and fogs, we will be out there. Please dress appropriately. If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer your spot to another set of bright eyes.  Cancellation Policy for PD Camps:  We ask that the first $10 of any registration be considered a deposit. A full refund (minus deposit) can be issued if you cancel with 14 days notice or more, prior to the program start date. Cancellations within 14 days of the start date of a PD Camp are non-refundable.  All effort will be taken to find a replacement participant from a waitlist, should one exist, and should that be completed, then a refund less deposit will be issued. GOS is not responsible for issuing refunds when programs are cancelled due to inclement weather, or circumstances out of our control which may include provincially mandated closure of programs. If a program is cancelled due to low enrolment, tuition will be fully refundable or transferable.
