Culinary Creations Week invites campers into the kitchen for a delicious blend of creativity, teamwork, and hands-on cooking fun! Campers will explore sweet and savory skills through workshops like Chef Shop and Master Chef, experiment with tasty treats during Candy Making and Extreme Desserts (and Extreme Desserts 2!), and use their imaginations in Cooking Up a Story, where food and storytelling come together. From planning recipes to creating show-stopping desserts, this week is perfect for young chefs ready to mix, measure, and create their way to culinary success.
