There’s something about sitting around a campfire that instantly softens the edges of workplace titles and office walls. Suddenly, your boss isn’t just your boss—they’re someone trying to roast a marshmallow without burning it. Your coworkers stop being “the finance guy” or “the girl from HR,” and start becoming people with stories, dreams, quirks, and hidden sides you’ve never seen during a Monday morning meeting.

Campfires create connection. The flicker of flames, the coziness of blankets, the sound of laughter mixing with crackles—it’s the perfect backdrop for deep talks, silly questions, and memorable bonding moments. And honestly? Colleagues are some of the best people to share this with. Think about it: you already spend so much time together in professional settings. Why not use a campfire night to spark conversations that go beyond emails and deadlines?

If you’re planning a work retreat, team-building getaway, or just a casual camping trip with coworkers, these 100 campfire questions will take your conversations to a whole new level. Forget the boring small talk—these questions are fun, thoughtful, sometimes hilarious, and definitely not your usual office icebreakers.

So grab your s’mores sticks, cozy up, and get ready to learn about your colleagues in a way you never have before. Find more conversation starters here.
