During each week of summer camp, cabins spend one evening cooking dinner over a campfire together. The traditional Camp John Marc cookout meal is chicken fajitas, rice, hand-cranked ice cream and fire bread, an American Indian dish. There are 13 unique cookout sites at CJM that include three sets of covered wagons, a tree house and hammock area. Cookout sites are located at:
- Archery Range
- Morning Star Chapel
- Deer Valley
