Come on out to White Lake to join your Outdoor Education Team and
Great Lakes Primitives to learn primitive fire building: creating an
ember from scratch, to a fully sustained flame!
During
this event, you will take a step back in time and learn how the
discovery of fire came to be! We will take a deep dive into the
history and creation of primitive tools used to build fire while
exploring their different uses and adaptations. After our mini,
hands-on history lesson, we will actually get to make our very own
ember guided by the experts at Great Lakes Primitives and nurse it
into a full blown flame!
