- A potable water source.
- Great helping hands from the crew for evening dishes.
The camp cook is integral to the Junior Forest Ranger team and works with the Crew Leader with scheduling and meal planning.
The cook is given a budget, makes grocery orders and purchases once a week, and also has the opportunity take part in the
some of the educational components of the program such as tours, presentations and out trips!
