Food
Please inform the Red Rock Institute of any dietary restrictions you may have.

***On the evening of Monday, July 9th at the home of Dan McCool, students will be divided into cook teams of 4-5 people with each team responsible for one dinner and one breakfast. Food will be purchased the morning of Tuesday, July 10, and all costs will be equally divided among students.

***All lunches will be eaten on-the-go, so each person should bring some light fare they can pack in their daypacks.
