Meet our Culinary Team!!

Chef Erin Henry is excited to return for the 2019 Bootcamp season! Erin was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick and was very lucky to have grown up in a family where homemade food was a simply a way of life. Erin learned kitchen basics at a very early age from her parents and grandmother who are all fantastic cooks. They had large vegetable gardens and tended pigs, chickens, geese and goats on their small hobby farm, where the whole family helped to make cheeses, sausages, canned goods and pickles. 

Assistant Chef Bonnie Perry is excited to join the team for the 2019 season.
After spending fifteen years as an IT Professional with the department of National defence, Bonnie Perry knows what hard work and dedication means.  As an aspiring chef and someone who started cooking for her family at the age of 11, her love for food is a deep one. While working at Shearwater Air Force Base, Bonnie volunteered on the special events committee where she cooked and served meals for small parties of twenty to thirty people and liaised with caterers for larger crowds.  In 2014 She began working as a consultant at The Fox and Hound Neighbourhood Pub to review their menu and make recommendations on additions and changes with respect to ingredient changes as well as plating for visual enhancements.
A graduate of Eastern College in 2000 with a certification degree in systems engineering, she secured a position with Department of National Defence where she earned her A+ hardware certification, Project Management, supervisor training and essential skills such as goal setting, delegating, and coaching.

The Pukka Sapper is the highest honour the Canadian Military can bestow upon a civilian.
