At House Blackstar we have a sign up sheet.  If you camp there you are to
put in two shifts minimum for war week, either cooking or cleaning.  The
list is first come, fisrt signed.  A few folks only want to clean, others
only like to cook, mostly it's a one of each.  The camp fees for the meal
plan can't be beat and the menu is supurb.  Breakfast and dinner.  The cost
of camp kitchen ice comes from the camping fee which also covers the cost of
the rental pavillion hospitality tent, the tables and chairs.  Each person
is reponsible for their personal coolers and beverages, etc and washing
their own feastgear.  Pretty much, instead of having a fire pit, we have a
kitchen.  Works out really well for a household of mostly cooks.
Olwen, happy as a clam
