Join the Fun at Foodie Camp!

Registration Closes Monday, June 10

Do you like food, baking, and cooking? Campers make all sorts of homemade treats from marshmallows and sourdough bread to mac and cheese and healthy snacks! Each day offers a new opportunity to learn basic kitchen skills, including measuring, serving sizes, and reading food labels. Campers will also get creative with cakes, cupcakes, lemonade, fruit pizza, veggie pizza, and more! Plus, they’ll even make their own lunches each day! At the end of camp, youth will compile a book of recipes capturing their culinary adventures.
