From Elke Noll:

Dear fellow campers,

I assume that all would agree, that we want to keep a standard of healthy nourishing foods at Shehaqua Family Camp.

I deeply appreciate all the willing and dedicated helpers who showed up over the years. I could have never done this alone.

With this in mind, I would like to invite anyone who has an interest or calling in healthy food to step forward to take on more of a leadership role in food service.

About six years ago the late Jack Jewell asked me if I would cook for week 3. I was very nervous, but took the leap and, to my surprise, it just flowed. This could happen to you, too. You don’t have to be a CIA/Boces student or graduate, although that would be nifty. I’m looking for apprentices, sou-chefs, trained chefs, full time (3 meals) support, someone who can head up breakfast, someone who wants to be in charge of baking. Responsible teens welcome! 50 and up: you still have it in you!

This is a great opportunity to develop your confidence and skills or explore a culinary career. Shehaqua campers just are the best: so appreciative and supportive!

Please contact me. I’ll work with whatever your circumstances are and gladly pass on what I’ve learned over the years.

I don’t know how much longer I will be available to cook for Shehaqua Family Camp. I have already turned down one job offer because I had already committed to family camp 2011.

Healthy blessings, Your sister
Elke
