The best part of camping, for me, is building the perfect fire. Watching it burn can be hypnotizing in beauty as it changes form and radiates energy. That energy is then absorbed by everyone surrounding it forming love, laughter, wonder, storytelling, and the gift of living in the moment. These are just a few of the gifts of camp. The camp fire also creates the perfect environment for cooking and learning how to cook. There is no need for a stove, an oven, a steamer or a broiler. Learning the art of cooking on open flame teaches all the essentials. Just like growing a vegetable in your own garden, cooking on a campfire allows you to truly appreciate the final product. You understand the science, you appreciate the nature, and you enjoy your food even more! This lesson is a great lesson in cooking but also life at home, in school, and in everyday challenges. The campfire, building it, experiencing it, cooking on it, tending to it, is the embodiment of summer camp and a summer spent in the great outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>Kristian Unvericht,\u00a0<strong>Food Services Director\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0Pine Forest, Timber Tops, and Lake Owego camps<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/the-art-of-cooking-with-fire\/kristian-blog-photo\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1224\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1224\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kristian-Blog-Photo.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The comforts of life&#8217;s essentials &#8212; food, fire, and friendships&#8230;&#8221; -Julia Child Let&#8217;s take a journey into the art of cooking with the most basic cooking tool&#8230;.Fire.
