Students may try their hand at making fresh tortillas, under the guide of our Navajo chef. Some are more successful than others!

"The food was great! Returning to camp after very full days to smell steaks sizzling on an open campfire was the perfect closure."

Our Outfitters will prepare home-cooked Breakfasts and Dinners on an open camp-stove. The fare will be Delicious, Plentiful, and Hearty, including freshly-made-before-our-eyes-from-scratch Tortillas. Lunch consists of a 'generous snack' of pre-prepared foods which we help ourselves to from a general container. Vegetarian diets are difficult to accommodate and if this is your inclination, you will need to gracefully accept 'eating around' the main dish for 3 of the Dinners. There are two nights when the main course will be Steaks, or Lamb. Please let us know if you would prefer not to eat these, and we will provide Veggie Burgers for you, on those 2 nights only. You may tuck away any special snacks you desire, but, remember: The meals will be very satisfying . The beginning & ending night's Dinners as well as the farewell Breakfasts are prepared by the hotel staff.

BREAKFAST - Breakfasts are fresh and hearty: eggs cooked to order with homemade tortillas & salsa, fresh melon slices, and a varying selection of: cooked bacon or sausage, homemade pancakes with syrup or biscuits & honey, homemade hash browns, coffee or tea. We start the morning with fresh coffee around the campfire as breakfast is made. You will not need to set an alarm - If the aroma of freshly brewing coffee and sizzling sausages doesn't wake you, the laughter around the campfire will!

LUNCH - Lunch is a help-yourself affair from the lunch boxes. They contain: fresh fruit / individual cans of salmon, tuna, sardines & potted meat / a wide variety of individual cracker & cookie packets / individual cracker & cheese /cracker & peanut butter packets. Packets of trail mix / packets of raisins / individual candy bars / chocolate / sodas.

For our harvest feast on Thursday night, a whole turkey is slowly roasted in coals all day until it is succulent and literally falls off the bones. To this is added coal roasted corn, a succotash made of Beans, Squash & Tomatoes and a fresh Berry cobbler.
