It wonderful to see the progression in campers over the 3-week camp period. They are more willing to attempt new skills in cooking and more accomplished at the basics of chopping. Every day, they learn about a different type of food and they are therefore always asking questions of chef instructors on new techniques. Learning new skills and getting better at chopping, sauteing and baking build confidence in the campers. They often have to work together to gather components of a recipe and are always communicating with their counselors and instructors to stay on task.
Common Threads helps bridge cultural boundaries and strengthens our global family by teaching children about their similarities and differences in the warm comfort of the kitchen: Through the simple process of preparing and sharing a nutritious meal, children who participate in our programs learn to connect with their bodies, their neighbors, and their world in bite-sized lessons.
