Outdoor Cooking the LNT Way

Learn how to be responsible when cooking outside .

Our goal is to experience several outdoor cooking methods while cooking our lunch: box oven pizza, veggie shish kabob, and pie-iron turtles. Emphasis will be on the Leave No Trace principles while cooking and enjoying the outdoors. “The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics” teaches people how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly. The Center achieves its mission through education, research, partnerships and volunteerism. Four of the seven principles will be discussed as we focus on outdoor cooking methods, fuel, foods that leave the least impact on our environment, recycling, and managing our cooking/food waste. Gold Card Fee is 36. Tuition: $45. Class meets on Saturday from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM on April 30 at Vernon Hills High School. Registration is required. Register online through District 128’s Community Education Department at www.ComEd128.org, or call 847-247-4576 to register by phone.
