New Registration Enhancements!

Posted on by

Registration for Conestoga Day Camp starts in one week! January 28th at 6:00 am!

A New Health Form – Council is standardizing the information they collect for health information at all of their camps and day camps, so you will see a more comprehensive Health Form this year.

Multiple Registrations per Transaction – Are you a volunteer who had a camper, a PA, and a Pixie/Ranger? or an entire troop? You can now do that. I won’t fool you…you can do that. Still, you really need to pay attention to complete the Registration, Transportation, and Optional Overnight Details for each person you are registering. After that, the health forms will come up automatically, so you don’t forget to complete them, as well.

Pie Iron Tips

Posted on by

Here are some tips for cooking with pie irons.

  • Get a good fire going so it will burn down to lots of coals.
  • Preheat the pie iron in the fire before using.
  • Once the pie iron is preheated, it will be hot! So, be careful where you place it so you don’t burn a plastic tablecloth or little fingers.
  • Use stick “butter” to grease each side of the inside of the pie iron or a light coating of cooking spray.
  • Place one slice of bread (can also use tortillas or pie crust, etc. ) on one side of the pie iron.
  • Build your pizza in one half of the pie iron.
  • Spreading pizza sauce with the back of the spoon works great.
  • When finished building the pizza, place another piece of bread on top.
  • Close the pie iron together by leaving the filled half on the table, and hinging it by moving the empty side.
  • Squeeze together.
  • If they have little closing hooks, I don’t use them in the cooking process as it makes it hard to check the doneness.
  • Place directly in the coals of the fire.
  • Check and turn often until desired doneness. Remember, you are just warming up the inside and toasting the bread.
  • To remove, take one side off and turn the pizza out onto a plate.
  • Besides making pie iron pizzas, you can also make dessert pizzas. Try cooking biscuits or rolls in them.
  • Enjoy!
