Snapshots from the Kitchen

Campers enjoy daily classes in healthy cooking while preparing food from all over the world. Students learn basic kitchen skills, cooking techniques, and the importance of fresh ingredients as they prepare ethnic cuisine together! Before cooking, instructors provide a brief overview with cultural information and nutritional tips.

In addition to learning new and healthy recipies, campers have an opportunity to earn "Kitchen Stars." Stars are given daily, on the basis that campers were respectful, responsible, safe, listening, and working together while in the kitchen for the day. Counselors, volunteers, and the chef instructors decide if the star is given. At the last day of camp, the team with the most "Kitchen Stars" wins a special prize.

Below are some of our favorite chefs having fun and cooking some savory dishes.
