About the Camps
Cook like a Chef! is a day camp designed to introduce boys and girls ages 11 to 13 to healthy cooking and eating habits that will set them on the right path for their lifetime.
- Find out about a variety of fruits and vegetables—and how to prepare them.
- Explore the world of seasoning and spices during our tasting workshops.
- Learn basic cooking techniques and how to custom-design your own recipes.
- Play games and do fun physical activities that encourage a healthy lifestyle.
