We pool the resources/money for the light dinner supplies such as hotdogs or foil packet dinners and the starter piles of campfire wood for a group cooking and campfire s’mores situation for each night. Part of your ticket contributes to the firewood, dinner supplies and s’mores.   

Campers often bring their own campfire cooking experience and ingredients to contribute, though not required.

Additional campfire wood is purchased on a volunteer communal basis, as well.

What does light dinner mean?

LIGHT dinner means hotdogs/chips, foil packet meal, kebabs etc. Part of your ticket contributes to the firewood, dinner supplies and s’mores. We typically grocery shop locally as a group upon arrival and as needed. 

*In the nature of communal dinners and based off of the last few campouts, Litas typically provide snacks or a side dish or whatever.

If you end up getting your own spot, let me know and I’ll send you the amount needed to cover the dinner, campfire, etc.
