Welcome to the 2018 Virtual Cooktruck

Because I believe we're through with the snow for the month, I decided it was time to jump-start the cooktruck.

I've updated the link for the 2018 Cook's Calendar under Important Links on the right.  This is our new calendar format for tracking volunteer cooks, drivers and sewers.  This new calendar is automatically updated with each change so it's always the most recent.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at camp this weekend.  Travel safely!!
