Announcing Food Blogger Camp at Club Med in Ixtapa
Do you dream of idling away on a sunny beach in the middle of the winter?
Do you want to meet other food bloggers from all over the world?
Do you want to spend your vacation with me?
Ok, you don’t have to answer that last one. But if you do, I’m going to be a featured participant at Food Blogger Camp, taking place January 9-16th, 2010.
While camp is in session, each day there will be a seminar by my favorite food bloggers, food stylist, and photographers.
Participants include Diane Cu and Todd Porter, Michael and Donna Ruhlman, Matt Armendariz and Adam Pearson, Dianne Jacob, Jaden Hair, and Elise Bauer.
Seminars will include everything from how to style and snap the perfect food shot, what to do when the book agent comes a knockin’ on your door, and plenty of tips to dial up your blog and get the love and respect that you and your blog so richly deserve.
As for extracurricular activities, there will be a walking tour of the colorful Zijuatanejo market, we’ll taste tacos and tequilas, visit a fisherman’s market, and meet with local farmers and talk about their sustainable agricultural practices.
To sign up, visit the Food Blogging Camp booking page.
1. At the bottom of the page, click where it says Click Here to Book
2. Use Login: blogger, Password: 160606, to get the special Food Blogging Camp discount price of $599 to $999 US based on double-occupancy for this all-inclusive trip.
3. There will be a drop-down menu so choose ‘Ixtapa‘, and type in the dates: January 9-16, and 7 days for length of stay. You can come for fewer days, or all of them. (3-day packages are $599.)
The booking page will open showing the discounted price just underneath the regular price. Please note that that price shown will likely be for a single-booking option: the $999 price is based on double-occupancy. There should be a special price shown, which notes that it’s the ‘Food Blogger Camp’ price.
Should you have questions or wish to book, contact 1-888-Web-Club.

Hi. I saw that “The Sweepstakes is governed by the laws of the state of New York. It is void where prohibited, and in any country outside the United States.” Does that mean that it is only open to US residents? It would not be fair to exclude the one from Paris ;-)
Oh, I wish it is not, I would so much like to go… Thank you anyway for the opportunity, this food blogger camp is a GREAT idea. I love the program…
As mentioned, it means that if you live outside the US, you are welcome to enter, but you will be responsible for getting yourself to the US. Club Med will cover the winners airfare from the continental United States to Ixtapa. -dl

Sweets and heat do mix well, so enter me for the contest if only for the cocktails!
Oh, I’m so all over this. I admit, I’m not a food blogger myself, but I sometimes chime in with my opinions for someone else’s, so this could be a great boon to me getting off my butt and doing my own.
