The Kids Culinary Camp is intense fun for residential campers offered in One and Two week sessions, running June through August starting Sundays and ending on Saturdays. Our Program consist of 2 segments. The Saute Kitchen and our all new Baking & Pasrty Arts program. For each session, Campers arrive between noon and 2 PM on the Sunday beginning their Session. Each day during the week, Campers explore a different area of Culinary Arts. The Friday evening before graduation, Campers attend and participate in a Culinary Karaoke evening of fun and prizes. On Saturday, parents, friends and family arrive at 11:45am for a Graduation Ceremony and a luncheon prepared by Campers. Campers are dismissed at 1:30pm Saturday. Each day of the one week session new culinary skills are introduced. They include:

Our curriculum also includes valuable lessons about: nutrition and organic food sources; aquaponics (the integrated growing of tilapia fish and micro-greens and herbs in our greenhouse); organic square foot and container gardening; composting and vermicomposting; shitake mushroom growing; beekeeping; and olive oil herbing and bottling. Campers have morning chores, which include gathering eggs from the henhouse, working in the greenhouse, and gardening in the on site vegetable, berry and herb gardens. Our emphasis is on providing some carry over skills for use with their families throughout the year. Please go to the home page to view featured videos if you have not already done so.

One Week Sessions include the skills and techniques listed above.

Two Week Sessions include enhanced study of what has been learned so far, plus in depth looks at Culinary Arts as a profession.

Campers will learn how to pursue a career in Culinary Arts and what to expect in a livelihood as a Chef. In addition, the two week session includes campers planning and organizing an overnight hike where they learn outdoor cooking skills over a campfire. Campers will also have the opportunity to plan and execute a catered function.
