Flint and Steel Firestarting for Beginners

How would you have fared at getting a fire going in Revolutionary times? Folks who've never used flint and steel before are invited to try their hand at getting sparks and fire the old-fashioned way. We'll start out by talking about the early history of primitive fire making, then participants will actually use the materials to generate some sparks and fire. **Teens and adults only. Meet at the Visitor Center. Registration required. Contact Rhiannon Summers at 570-477-7780 or rhsummers@pa.gov for more information.

    I will need accommodation in order to participate in this program. I recognize that if an ASL interpreter is needed, I will need to register 5 days or more in advance of the event so that the park can secure an interpreter for me.

    I will notify Ricketts Glen State Park if my plans change.
