**COVID-19 Information: Moore Farms Botanical Garden has made, and will continue to make, adjustments to its summer camp offerings to provide a safe camp experience for everyone involved. Camp size has been reduced to allow for adequate social distancing, and outdoor activities have been prioritized. Face masks must be worn by campers and camp staff each day. All surfaces and high-use materials will be regularly cleaned and disinfected. Handwashing with soap and water will be reinforced, and hand sanitizing stations are readily available, too. Camp staff and campers who are sick or have recently had close contact with a person with COVID-19 must stay home.**
2023 CAMPS
Culinary Camp: Beginner
June 5-9 (10:00am – 2:00pm)
Ages: 7-9
Admission: $100
Class Size: 8
Culinary Camp: Beginner provides an opportunity for budding chefs to learn the basics of cooking. They will be introduced to a kitchen setting where we will harvest directly from our vegetable garden and learn how to use that produce in a sampling of dishes. Cooking basics that we will cover include how to hold and use a knife, reading a recipe, measuring ingredients, and kitchen safety. We encourage the campers to try these new skills and expand their palate. Their skills will be showcased at the end of the week when they create and serve a meal for their families.
Campers are asked to dress in close-toed shoes and come prepared to create and taste all that our garden can provide!
