Summary: Learn how to prepare better backcountry meals for a group in this fun one-day training.
Description: Open to volunteers and staff from any organization!
Backcountry camping doesn't have to mean meal-in-a-bag dinners. In this Saturday workshop, you'll practice preparing delicious meals for volunteer and other work crews in remote settings and learn essentials such as how to plan menus for remote trips, use pack-string support, set up and manage a kitchen in the backcountry, and cook with a dutch oven outdoors. At the end of the day, you'll put yourskills to the test by preparing and sharing a meal with trainees from the concurrent Spring Trail Skills Training.
For those interested in being a Crew Chef for VOC, we recommend you attend theApril 22thVOC Crew Chef Webinarto learn more about the overall VOC Crew Chef role.
Campsites are availablefor trainees arriving the Friday night before the training. Indoor dormitory space will be made available if the weather is not suitable for camping.
Cost:$30.
