Food Explorers: Culinary Summer Camps • Register • View Cart •

Program Descriptions:
Join Food Explorers in creating delicious food and gain confidence in the kitchen! The ultimate summer adventure for young chefs and food enthusiasts, these camps offer a fun, hands-on learning experience designed to empower and inspire creativity in the kitchen and build a love for cooking while listening to their bodies. All recipes are nut free but do contain eggs, dairy and gluten. Ingredient substitutions are not possible.

Program Note:
Children who are registered for both the AM and PM camps must be picked up at the conclusion of the AM camp and dropped off again at the start of the PM camp. No supervision is available for the hour between sessions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. 

Program Benefits:
Upon completion of each camp, participants will be able to:
 - explore and cook a variety of recipes related to the program's theme.
 - practice essential cooking and baking skills such as chopping, mixing, and plating.
 - work together to follow a multi-leveled recipe in a social, relaxed environment.

About the Instructors: 
The Food Explorers team aims to inspire and empower children to learn valuable cooking skills and nurture a positive relationship with food. All Food Explorers recipes are uniquely designed to challenge kids in the kitchen and introduce them to new foods, flavors and cultures. Food Explorers instructors are trained around the concept of “Food Neutrality” in order to help children discover the joys of food and cooking without judgement or pressure.
