Learn how to spark a flame and keep it burning in this hands-on workshop designed just for teens. Our Tobacco Plantation staff will guide you through traditional friction-based fire starting, striking flint and steel, and using modern methods—then put your new skills to the test.
And because every good fire deserves a reward, we’ll finish the morning by roasting marshmallows and building gooey, chocolatey s’mores over the fire you helped create. You’ll leave with both a new life skill and a full stomach.
What to expect:
If the program is canceled due to weather or staffing, all participants will receive a full refund. This is a fun, tasty, and practical way to spend a fall morning at Historic St. Mary’s City.
-This program is ideal for adventurous learners interested in history, nature, or wilderness skills.
