Washable Dishes and Utensils
CPC is providing washable dishes and utensils as an alternative to the paper and plastic
stuff the camp provides in the dining hall. You're welcome to participate too.
The washable plates are large and sturdy, making it easier to carry your food to
the table, without spilling stuff on the floor. You'll also find metal and washable plastic
utensils that are much easier to use than the throw-away stuff.
Dishwashing Station
Outside the dining hall, not far from the entrance, you'll notice a table holding
several buckets of water and a drying rack. That's the dishwashing station, where you can
wash your plates and utensils after meals. The buckets will be marked to indicate the
proper washing order:
Campers who do their own cooking are also welcome to wash plates and utensils at the dishwashing station. However, you should bring your own washtub for pots and pans; our dishwashing station is not adequate for cleaning pots and pans.
Recycled Paper Supplies
Washing dishes is optional. CPC will also provide recycled paper plates, napkins,
towels and, hopefully, recycled paper cups and bowls too. Look for our sign
identifying paper and plastic supplies made with 100 percent post-consumer recycled
fiber.
Recycling Containers
Campers who do their own cooking can also help in the Leave Less Trace initiative
by placing cans (aluminum or steel/tin) and bottles (glass or plastic) in CPC's recycling
containers. These materials will be taken to the county's recycling collection point
after Summer Camp is over.
