Summer Solstice Campfire

Event date and time
June 22, 2023 - 7:00 PM to June 22, 2023 - 9:00 PM

June 21st is the summer solstice - the official first day of summer and the longest day of the year. Come celebrate with us at a campfire the very next day on June 22nd! We'll start with a short walk on the Kip Trail, talk a bit about why the solstices and seasons happen and enjoy the Kip tract's forested wetland on a summer evening. Then we'll head back to the campfire to indulge in s'mores and a sun that won't set until nearly 9:00pm!

This event is free and perfect for all ages. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Bring a friend or a family member!
We'll meet at the Wachtmeister Field Station off Route 27 in Canton. Stay as long as you are able! Reach out to info@natureupnorth.org or contact @natureupnorth on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with any questions.

If approaching from Canton Village, it is the first driveway on the left after passing over the wooden bow bridge over the Little River.
