WEATHERFORD — WEATHERFORD — For three days, children in the fifth grade through adults can learn about the challenges pioneers and cowboys had cooking on the trail.
Chuckwagon and Outdoor Cooking campers will prepare recipes from the 1800s, cook over an open fire and learn about the history of the chuckwagon that was developed in Parker County.
The final day of camp will culminate in a cook-off with celebrity judges naming a winner in several different categories including bread and cobbler.
The camp will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at the Doss Heritage and Culture Center. The camp costs $110 for the three days.
“We had so many adults who volunteered at the camps or saw them going on as they drove past that we created Chuckwagon and Outdoor Cooking for them,” said Judy James, DHCC education specialist. “Last year’s group included our first set of ‘adult’ campers who may have had more fun than the kids. Some of our adult chuckwagon campers even purchased their own wagons so they could continue the pioneer spirit for themselves.”
Camp registration forms are available online at www.dosscenter.org or at the Doss Heritage and Culture Center located at 1400 Texas Drive.
All camps have limited enrollment to enhance each camper’s experience and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Paid camp registration will assure a space reservation. Doss Center members receive a 10 percent discount and scholarships may be available.
The mission of the James and Dorothy Doss Heritage and Culture Center is to collect, preserve and interpret the history of Parker County through cultural and educational events that raise community awareness and pride in our western heritage.
For more information, visit the Web site at www.dosscenter.org or call (817) 599-6168. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for students and senior citizens.
