Good morning campers!
The weather is warm, there's been little rain.
Your first task this morning is to discover food safety.
As campers, we take our food with us into the wilderness. There are many ways to cook it.
Can you name at least five?
Go to http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/index.asp
What temperature does a hamburger need to get to before you can eat it?
What about a chicken breast?
What else do we need to know about transporting our food to the campsite before we cook it?

Go to:
http://www.scouting.org/boyscouts/advancementandawards/meritbadges/mb-COOK.aspx
Read it over and let's do number 3. Plan our meals for two days. What will we need?
Can't think of a recipe? Go to: www.recipelink.com
Search for Camping.
Look at all the recipes! What kind of cookwear will we need?
Utensils? Copy and paste the recipes you wish to make on your camp out in your word document. Then make a list of all the items we need to take along.
Whew! Your list is getting long.
When you are done, print it and staple it to take home.

We are playing a game outside today and then having a camp snack.
Thank you for coming to Camping Fun this year at summer school. I hope you had
fun and learned some new things to help you have a safe and fun time while you camp.
Take care,
Mrs. Knutson
