Kids' Camp: American Regional

We welcome kids ages 7 to 11 to join us for a five-day camp, featuring hands-on cooking, learning and lots of eating! We will focus on cuisines and ingredients from coast to coast, while learning how to follow recipes, understanding classic techniques, presentation, working cleanly and safely in the kitchen, and exploring new foods and flavors. All recipes will be measured ahead of time so we can focus on the techniques, but proper measuring practices will be covered in class.
