Dutch oven cooking can be a fun and easy way to enjoy the outdoors. The key to successful outdoor Dutch oven cooking is knowing the temperature of your oven. The secret to this knowledge is charcoal. After learning the basics with the Missouri Department of Conservation, all participants will work together to put their knowledge to the test while creating 4 different dishes: Pineapple Upside-Down cake, Zucchini Bake, Roasted Chicken and Carrots, and Garlic Cheesy Bread!

Children under the age of 7 are welcomed but will need adult supervision. Register everyone that will be participating, ages 7+. Please bring lawn chairs. Meet the naturalist at the West End of the Park.
