Fire & Knives - Fire & Knives
Yes, they’ll use real knives. Yes, they’ll make actual fire. And yes, they’ll talk about it for weeks. Fire & Knives is an outdoor adventure program for kids who’d rather build than scroll. We’ll teach fire-starting, safe whittling, first aid, knots, and how to stay calm when things get real. It’s bold, supervised, and unforgettable — just the right kind of wild.This program is run by Fire & Knives through Andover Recreation.
