Celebrate the rich flavors of American regional cooking! This camp introduces students to classic dishes from the Deep South to Tex-Mex traditions, teaching them professional techniques and cultural context behind each meal. Parents will appreciate that their students are learning knife skills, flavor balancing, and plating—all while gaining confidence in the kitchen.
In addition to the regular items needed for camp, a Culinary Arts camper should plan to wear long pants and closed-toed shoes while in the kitchen. For field trips, we will be doing a significant amount of walking, so make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes.
