Open Camp Community Kitchen!

A community kitchen in the Open Camp area. This is a leave no trace community kitchen. Making and sharing food is a long tradition of meeting new friends, having conversations, laughing and building community! Bring your ingredients, use the propane stove, pots and flat top griddle to cook your food and hopefully share some with others. If you use it, wash/clean it at your camp site and return it immediately so others can use it after.
