The Ultimate Family-Friendly Campfire Cookout is more than just a meal—it’s an event that brings together outdoor living, culinary exploration, and community connection.

Have you ever stood before an open fire, wondering how to transform it into a cooking station? Wonder no more! Our Campfire Cookout on October 9 is designed specifically for curious minds ready to master the art of outdoor cooking. You’ll learn multiple cooking techniques that have been used throughout history, all while enjoying the process in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. This hands-on experience will walk you through everything from fire building to food preparation and cooking safety.
Come with an appetite and an adventurous palate! We’ve prepared a diverse menu featuring various meats and vegetables prepared with unique spice combinations. One of the highlights will be sampling dishes made with edible wild plants found in our local environment—connecting you directly to the natural food sources around us. And because no meal is complete without something sweet, we’ve planned special campfire desserts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. This all-ages program ensures everyone from grandparents to grandchildren can participate, though please note that children under 14 must be accompanied by a paid adult.
For our Campfire Cookout adventure, all participants will gather at the Pine Grove Shelter, where our experienced guides will be waiting to begin this culinary journey. We strongly encourage punctuality as the program will start exactly as scheduled, and you won’t want to miss any of the valuable instruction or food preparation opportunities. The event has been carefully planned to progress through different cooking techniques and recipes, building upon skills throughout the session.
To ensure everyone has the best possible experience, we ask that you leave your furry friends at home for this event. In the days leading up to the cookout, registered participants will receive detailed information via email, including maps, weather considerations, and any last-minute adjustments to our plans. Pre-registration is absolutely essential for this event as we need to prepare the right amount of ingredients and ensure we have appropriate staffing for the group size.
