I've known folks to come yearly from Texas or Montana, but not a large 
proportion of the people out there.  If it's something you get a chance to 
do, go ahead, it's a great experience.  But don't let anybody make you feel 
like a second class citizen if you can't!

Well, I wouldn't say actually using them is "prevalent".  A lot of the 
classes are more lecture than cooking.  I have seen open-fire cooking 
classes, and some folks do try to use period recipes etc on a fairly regular 
basis; others might just do one night of period stuff and the rest general 
camp cooking.  I'm looking forward to this year; we will be able to have a 
firepit, and since the lady of the household, myself, Allison, and several 
other members of the camp are cooks, we are planning on using the fire for 
period recipes as much as possible.
