Campfire Circle

The campfire circle is located in a sheltered area to prevent sparks over tents and is situated so as to make it accessible to both house and field users. Following consideration of it’s environmental impact the fire size has been reduced and is clearly bounded to ensure fires are of a size suitable to the Guide Centre environs. The end result is a more intimate and safe experience for users.
