The power of a campfire is not as a metaphor.

The power is in the relaxed state of mind, in the sense of community, in the smoke and smell and heat, and above all in the stories of adventure and mishap that romanticize or illuminate growing up.

These stories invite students to hear and heed: the call of the wild.
