Bring your favorite campfire food and stories to share. Some folks bring deserts, some bring a meat dish, some bring salads, and some bring veggies or carbs. We never know what’s for supper, but it’s always good, and there’s always lots to eat.
We try to eat as close to 7:00 as possible. Allow extra cooking time as BBQs and campfires take longer than the stove at home.
COST: Each camper pays their own camping fees and brings a dish for the Potluck.
