Backpacking Cook-Out & Social
Details
Have you ever been on the trail and, at camp, someone suddenly pulls out a homemade meal, making you wonder if it tastes as good as it looks? Are you tired of buying pre-packaged dehydrated meals and wondering if you could make them yourself? Wonder no more!
Join us for the Backpacking Cookout and Social—a fun event that starts with a friendly cooking competition and ends with some social time! You do not need to cook a meal to participate in the event, but if you do, you will have the chance to win an award! (We will announce the prize as the date gets closer!)
### 📅 Event Schedule
- 12:00 PM – 12:15 PM: Check-in and Introductions
- 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM: Cooking Talk & Demonstration
- 1:15 PM – 2:00 PM: Eat and Socialize
### 🏕️ Competition Rules
- List Your Ingredients: All ingredients must be clearly listed so that anyone with food allergies can stay safe.
- Live Assembly: Homemade snacks can be prepared ahead of time, but all meals must be cooked or assembled in front of the judges.
- Trail-Ready Gear: Any cooking must be done on a backpacking stove, since that is the type of stove you would have on the trail.
- Serving Size: Please prepare a portion size meant for two people.
If you do not plan to cook a backpacking meal, we encourage you bring your own foods/drinks!
