Kid’s Camp

Do you have a budding chef in your family?  Feed their knowledge and creativity at our Kid’s Culinary Camp this summer!  Each day, the campers will explore a different department while tasting a variety of their products.   Then, it is back to our kitchen where campers will learn to read a recipe, measure, and create delicious dishes.  Campers will be eating what they have prepared each day, so leave the healthy lunch to us!  At the end of the class each camper will be taking home recipes, a chef hat and apron.
