Art and Cooking Camp

This four day, blended curriculum will combine art and cooking to create masterpieces for both the eye and the belly.
In the kitchen, basic culinary techniques, knife skills, kitchen safety and nutritional guidance will be taught in a fun and informative way. We'll use mostly local fresh produce (campers will get to harvest vegetables fresh from the organic garden beds at Camp Cactus), and even picky eaters will enjoy preparing nutritious and delicious meals and snacks to share. Sample menus may include making "nibble boards", high tea, a taco bar and more.
In the studio, campers will design and illustrate the recipes they cook using prontmaking, painting, drawing and mixed media to create unique cookbooks, art, and personalized aprons to take home. 
Each student will spend ½ their day in the kitchen, and ½ their day in the studio.
 Our motto is, "If they cook it, they will eat it".
Campers should bring a water bottle labeled with their name.
 
Ages 8 - 14
All materials provided, and healthy lunches and snacks will be prepared and served by campers.
Please note: though we will always have a vegetarian option, some recipes may include eggs and/or dairy.
Camp size is limited to 8 students.
