Job Fair!

We’re looking for several good men and women! About 130 actually.

We’ll be hosting our Job Fair on Saturday, February 4, from 9:00 – Noon. One change this year … we’ll be holding the fair here at Lake Rudolph!

Seasonal positions are available at Lake Rudolph in the following areas: Activities, Housekeeping, Blitzen Kitchen, Maintenance, Grounds, Call Center, Welcome Center, Camp Store, Lifeguards, Security, and Shuttle Drivers. You can talk with representatives from each department and ask questions.

If you plan to attend the Job Fair, arrive at the main entrance and we’ll direct you where to park.

All applicants are welcome! This is a great opportunity for college students, high school students and retirees. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age, with some positions requiring you to be older.

We’ll see you there!

Rudolph’s Christmas Cabins Expansion

The road is cut for the expansion of our Rudolph’s Christmas Cabins! Can you tell where they will be located?

The new road connects off of Snowball (near Dasher Bathhouse 2) and runs up to connect to Dash Way.

Let it snow!

We had just a light dusting last night and this morning. But it was enough to prompt me to sift through snow photos from last year.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Merry (almost) Christmas from all of us here at Lake Rudolph! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and very Happy New Year.

Just think … in a few months spring will be here and camping season will be upon us!

In the meantime, if you haven’t finished Christmas shopping you’re not alone. I’m trying to figure out when I’m going to pick up those few last minutes items to finish off my list.

We do have a few suggestions to help finish off those last minute hard to buy for folks. Did you think about a Lake Rudolph gift card or a Santa Claus Land of Lights express pass? Both items are fairly quick and you’ll be on your way. You can purchase a gift card for Lake Rudolph by calling 1-877-478-3657; Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 4:00pm CT.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Rudy’s Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Cobbler

Since Halloween is right around the corner, and today marks our final Halloween Weekend (sniffle), I thought we’d share a pumpkin camping recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Cobbler

You Need:

• 1 – 29oz. can of pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 large eggs
• 2 Tbs. pumpkin pie spice
• 2 – 12oz. cans evaporated milk
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 stick of margarine or butter

Make It:

Mix all ingredients ‘cept for cake mix and butter in large bowl with whisk.

Line inside of dutch oven with foil. Pour liquid into dutch oven. Carefully sprinkle dry cake mix on top of pie filling. Slice the stick of butter and spread slices onto top of cake mix.

Cover Dutch oven and begin the heating process. Cooking will depend on the amount of coals you have and your Dutch oven. Cook until cake mix turns golden brown.

Serve it warm or cold. If it’s a cool fall day, like we’re going to have this weekend, I’d go with warm. And maybe vanilla ice cream.

Rudy’s Recipe: ‘Bama Fire Crackers

Now that the weather has gotten bit cooler and Fall is in the air, chili is always a fan favoritei. I know several of our campers have been making chili during our Halloween Weekends, because I can smell it cooking!

Next time you make a batch of chili, try these spicy crackers along with it. I bet you’ll love ‘em.

‘Bama Fire Crackers
 

You  Need:

• 1 2/3 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (1 ounce) envelopes ranch dressing mix
• 3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 (16.5 ounce) package multigrain saltine crackers

Make ‘Em:

Place vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ranch dressing mix, and crushed red pepper flakes in a 2-gallon plastic zipper bag. Seal the bag and squish it with your hands to really combine the oil and spices. Mix well. Place the crackers into the bag, seal, and turn the bag over and over to cover crackers with the spice mix. Let the bag sit for about 1 hour, then turn again. Repeat several more times until the crackers are well coated with spice mix, and allow the bag to sit overnight. Remove crackers and serve.
