Campfire Cooking

Join the park naturalists for an evening of campfire cooking at McCloud Nature Park. This family-friendly program welcomes visitors of all ages to gather around the fire and prepare different outdoor snacks. Each session features a different cooking method and recipe—you might roast something over the flames or try Dutch oven cooking. The whole experience lasts about 90 minutes, giving families plenty of time to enjoy the activity together. Registration is required in advance, and spots tend to fill quickly, so sign up early. The cost is just $3 per person. Meet at the Ray & Mary Benson Nature Center. If the weather turns rainy or severe, the program will be canceled. Families who want to extend their evening can stick around afterward for the Astronomy Program with the Indiana Astronomical Society.
