Class Preparation

Upon registration, families will receive instructions to join a Google Classroom. All ingredients and materials will be posted in the class' Google Classroom at least 3 days before the start of the week.  

Supporting Your Camper in the Kitchen

Depending on how comfortable your camper is in the kitchen, you may need to provide them with some support. We do our best to choose recipes that will allow families to be as hands-off as possible, but it may be necessary to help them out during the class.

Here are some tips to help campers be more independent during cooking class:

  • Cook with your camper outside of class to help familiarize them with your kitchen.
  • Review the recipes before class.
  • Help your camper gather and consolidate the materials and ingredients before class. 
  • Grocery shop with your camper so they know what ingredients they have available.

A big Thank You to our partner, the Moore Family Center, for allowing us to use their kitchen facility for our cooking classes!
