            Friendship.

5.         To help develop leadership and organizational skills and 

            self-confidence.

 

At the end of every “regular” meeting a Campfire can be held, however it may be brief.  In a camp setting, a Campfire can be longer and more relaxed, providing a better opportunity to create and develop a mood or atmosphere.

When Campfire is held at the close of day at camp, it can also be a meaningful final event at a training, workshop or conference.

A Campfire can be held anywhere the participants can sit together comfortably.  A circle formation is ideal, as everyone is then visible to everyone else, but in large gatherings, participants may sit facing the campfire leader(s).

Participation, Fun, Fellowship!
