Dismissed Until The Next Day
Each day at each table; both the kitchen table and the lunch table, we hope you will gain confidence in your abilities to joyfully join with your fellow kid-chefs, instructors and other staff to converse and describe your tastes. We hope too that you will gain an understanding on cooking basics and comprehend the difference between simply producing a recipe and applying your very unique passion and taste and make a dish truly your own.
We will discover that when an ingredient such as eggplant or chicken is prepared in Italy, France, Japan, India, South America, the Caribbean, or North Carolina it may taste incredibly different because its been made with specific cultural, culinary, historical, spiritual, and geographical differences. But it is still chicken, or eggplant. And delicious.
For Teens and Kid-Chefs over the age of 13, please check out our Taste the Adventure programs.
Thank you! We are very excited to take this journey in cooking with you.

Our Special Edition Programs will feel similar to teacher work days where your child will:
Be in a familiar and safe environment with opportunities for doing their remote school work. we have wifi in the school and so campers can space out at the tables where they can do their work. We will assist them in getting on scheduled zoom calls. While our staff is available and happy to assist with remote learning, please remember that our staff are not trained secondary education instructors per se.
Participate in creating a delicious scratch made lunch every day.
We will continue following the day camp protocols we've used this summer that were developed in conjunction with federal, state and local government.
Campers will be divided into small groups by age, and as much as possible, we will seek to group campers from the same family or school together. but depending on registration, we cannot guarantee this will always be the case.
