Missouri Department of Conservation Offering Fire Making and Outdoor Cooking Program

The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering a free fire making and outdoor cooking program this month. The program will be held April 28th from 5 to 7 pm at the Boone County Nature School located at the Three Creeks Conservation Area south of Columbia. Participants will learn how to cook a hearty dinner outside in a Dutch oven. Conservation Department presenters will give tips on how to pack ingredients for a campsite meal and how to cook the ingredients. After dinner is prepared and cooked, participants will be able to enjoy the meal along with s’mores over an open fire.
