Step into the world of global flavors and hands-on culinary creativity with Young Chef’s International Kitchen! This fun and engaging camp invites campers to explore cuisines from around the world while learning essential cooking skills in a safe, age-appropriate environment. Each day, campers will travel “virtually” to a different country, discovering new ingredients, cultural traditions, and exciting recipes. In addition to hands-on cooking, campers will immerse themselves in the culture of each country through song, dance, crafts, and traditional games, giving them a full, multi-sensory experience that goes beyond the kitchen. Campers will practice measuring, mixing, and following step-by-step instructions while developing confidence, independence, and teamwork skills. They’ll also learn kitchen safety, hygiene, and food presentation, all while building curiosity and respect for other cultures. This camp is perfect for young food lovers, creative minds, and curious explorers who want to travel the world through cooking, culture, and fun—all while making new friends!

Utilizing our campus garden and greenhouse, campers will explore where food comes from by planting seeds, caring for garden beds, and harvesting fresh vegetables and herbs. Children will learn about soil, insects, composting, and the important role nature plays in feeding our communities as they engage in age-appropriate activities, games, and stories. Each day includes time in the garden, creative art projects using natural materials, simple cooking and tasting activities, and plenty of outdoor play. Campers will discover the value of local farms and seasonal foods while building teamwork, curiosity, and confidence. Whether pulling carrots, meeting pollinators, or enjoying a snack made from garden ingredients, children will leave with muddy hands, happy hearts, and a deeper connection to the food on their plate. Field trips may include a visit to Earthdance Farms or New Roots Urban Farm With no camp on Friday, that scheduled swim is moved to Monday, 6/15.
