Breakfast on the River

Do you ever have a craving for the smell of bacon cooking outside? We sure do! We usually satisfy this hankering for tasty meals by simply cooking a great meal outside! At Teen Raft Camp and Family Camp, breakfast is a highly celebrated meal.

Campers will warn us the night before, "I am not human until I have drunk a pot of coffee" or "I don't eat much for breakfast, so don't worry about me" or "I've never tried River Scramble, what is it?"...the sense of apprehension seasoned with the tiniest bit of curiosity and the smell of outdoor cooking is a sure fire way to entice the appetites at breakfast.

We have prepared the '72 Morning Egg Salute', which by the way was more than enough food for a Family Camp of 14 people! We have also eaten 'Campers in a Sleeping Bag', which could bring back memories of Pigs in a Blanket. Then there is the Blossom Blueberry Pancakes...ooooh! Can you smell them now?!

One of our favorites is the Sunrise Spread. It includes River Scramble, Bacon, and Peach Cobbler. Yep, Peach Cobbler for breakfast served from a Dutch Oven, cooked over the morning fire, and made with Grandma Wade's Biscuit Recipe! It is such a favorite at the Teen Raft Camp, the kids actually ASK to help wash the dishes! Hmmmm, there's never any leftovers either!
