Backpacking Cook-Out & Social (Changed to August 16th)
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!). Update on August 7: Since we have a limited number of cooks, we are skipping the competition and will instead recognize all the cooks with small tokens of appreciation. Please bring your own utensils if you would like to taste the food. Feel free to also bring your own lunch or food to share!
### 📅 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!
