Let your taste buds go wild as you discover tips and tricks to camp cooking! Participants will learn to cook delicious foods over a campfire using pie irons and possibly Dutch Ovens. After you've finished learning your new recipes, it's time to eat! Participants have an opportunity to try the food they prepared. During this program, guests will be preparing their own pie iron pizzas and s’mores pies. The ingredients will include white bread, pizza sauce, cheese, vegetable cooking spray, marshmallows, milk chocolate, and butter. The allergens will include but are not limited to eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, and dairy. In addition, a Dutch Oven meal may be prepared. A full list of ingredients can be available five days before the program upon request at
