Site Cooking FAQ

Have questions about the cooking situation at our site? Read below for answers!

Is there an open kitchen to use for cooking on site?

No there is not.

Can I use an outdoor grill/gas burners?

Yes you can. All grills and gas burners/stoves must be used outside. There are also fire pits available, but there needs to be a designated fire watcher. If a fire pit is left unattended, fire privileges will be revoked immediately.

Is there a microwave/coffee maker/hot water dispenser/fridge?

Yes! You are welcome to use these!

Could I use the kitchen with a food license?

No, Battle Creek Camp regulations prohibits anyone other than their staff from using it.

Are there any prohibited food for allergies?

Yes. Peanuts are prohibited by Battle Creek Camp, and should be avoided if possible. If you accidentally bring a food with peanuts though, you will be fine. Just wipe down the area and wash your hands after eating. Player allergies include coconut, shellfish, grapes, cow milk, and blueberries. If you must use these ingredients, please be mindful when handing out food.

Is there a staff run meal plan?

Not at this time. You may ask around about player run meal plans though.

Can we use crock pots/electric griddles?

Yes, but only with express permission from Logistics Director Kendall DeFrancesco. We can only have 2 crockpots/electric cooktops plugged in at the same time. This is so we do not overwhelm the power grid at the camp. When cooking indoors, please put down a mat or tablecloth to protect the tables.
