destination cooking classes

At Campfire Cuisine, our cooking classes are the destination and the experience.

A scenic drive, hike, or both may be required to get to the secret class location, but don’t worry—we’ll see you there with everything you’ll need.

class descriptions & schedule

No matter your skill level in the kitchen or your familiarity with the outdoors, Campfire Cuisine has a class for you. All classes range from 1-2 hours long and are offered across all activity levels.

We provide all cooking and cleaning gear, so you can focus on enjoying yourself!

  • This class is a true introduction to outdoor cooking. While preparing a meal together, students will get hands-on experience with a variety of outdoor cooking gear and leave the class with a general knowledge of outdoor cooking best practices.

  • Get creative at your campsite by upgrading traditional camp meals so they are anything but basic. Students learn the wonders of outdoor cooking and leave inspired to mix things up on their next outdoor adventure.

  • Inspired by Campfire Cuisine’s roots, this class explores the flavors and techniques that come with cooking directly over a flame.

  • We partner with local Colorado business to source fresh, quality ingredients. These classes focus on connection to the community through food and embraces seasonal ingredients and cuisine.

October class schedule coming soon!

how it works

  • Class registration opens at 5:00pm MT on the first day of each month for the following month’s classes. Spots in each class are filled on a first come, first serve basis.

    Since the number of spots in each class varies by location and can be extremely limited, a waitlist will be started once the class is full.

  • You’ll receive an email confirming your spot in the class.

  • You’ll receive a curated grocery list, directions for any necessary prep—this will be minimal—and the secret class location.

  • You’ll gather your ingredients, get on the road, and lace up your boots for an easy to moderate hike to the class location. We’ll meet you there!

  • You’ll be set up with cooking gear and any remaining ingredients before Steve Starks, “The Mountain Chef,” guides you through a campfire-inspired recipe.

  • You’ll be instructed on how to use a variety of equipment, learn best practices for outdoor cooking, and make your own meal.

    Each class ranges from 1-2 hours (note this time does. not include the time it takes to get to the class location).

  • Each class ends with a delicious meal shared between new friends before guests make their way back down the trail.
