Canoeing Cuisine

Creating delectable meals for week end canoe trips, much less multi-day expeditions, is challenging for even the most seasoned paddler. To help you plan for your upcoming canoe adventures, several of RMCC’s experienced members will share their hard won knowledge on how to develop tasty camp meals demonstrating the following topics:

·       How to pack fresh items like meats, fruits, vegetables, and cheeses to last through an entire trip with and without a cooler (presenter: Karen Amundson)

·       Cooking with a Dutch oven (presenter: Henry Williams)

·       Baking with a BakePacker, an easy inexpensive way to bake on a camp stove (presenter: Bill Ashworth)

·       Assembling dehydrated meals and how to dehydrate your own food; using off the shelf items to create meals for long trips; improving freeze dried meals with the addition of spices and other items (presenters: Dan Custer and Lynne Carpenter)

·       Demonstrating and discussing the pros and cons of various water and food storage methods (presenters: Kit Williams and Bill Ashworth)

 Canoeing Cuisine will be held Sunday, April 7 from 1:00-4:00 pm at Indian Hills Community Center, 5381 Parmalee Gulch Road, Indian Hills  CO  80454

We will also have participants share their favorite camping recipes and exchange tips on ways they make camping meals more enjoyable. There is no cost for this event but we will ask everyone to send Kit Williams electronic copies of their favorite camp recipes that will be distributed to all registered participants.
