Baja Cooks offers food services to groups serving in Mexico on short-term mission trips. A camping option includes complete setup and take down of all your groups tent accommodations.
Baja Cooks (formerly Camping Pros) has been providing food services to mission trip groups in Mexico since 1999.
We serve mission-trip groups at ministry bases, hotels, orphanages and campgrounds throughout the northern region of Baja California and Sonora, Mexico.
Many groups we serve are in partnership with Amor Ministries, a ministry that sends short-term work teams to build homes in Mexico. Amor groups have an option of using Baja Cooks for their food and tent service needs. We have worked alongside Amor for many years and have been a longtime supporter of their mission trip efforts.
No, our services are available anywhere your mission trip takes you. If you are working with a ministry, orphanage or mission trip organization, let them know you would like to use Baja Cooks so they can plan accordingly.
With 25 years of experience, we have learned a few things about providing food service to hungry American and Canadian mission trip groups serving in another country.
