When

Sept. 18, 2026. 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Join us for a relaxing evening of learning and marshmallow roasting. Meet at the Amphitheater at the park campground-- Kiptopeke's rangers will provide amazing nature deep-dives (different topics each week!), fascinating touch table specimens, a cozy fire, and, of course, delicious marshmallows at the end!

Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are welcome to accompany their families, but must be leashed and kept at a safe distance from the campfire. (Note that dogs are not permitted on the walkway down to North Beach adjacent to the Amphitheater or that beach itself. South Beach, accessible from the Fishing Pier parking lot, allows dogs.)

Sparks from a burning campfire leave streaks of orange light in the darkness.
