Cooking Camp Weekly Themes

We have a lot of fun at Headfirst Cooking Camp!

Cooking Themes

Mexican Fiesta!

Mexican and Southwestern foods are among the most popular cuisines in America. In this summer camp, campers will learn to make their favorite Mexican items, like salsas, guacamole, tortilla chips, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, empanadas, fajitas and the list goes on and on and on!

Gourmet Chef Challenge

Just like on everybody’s favorite cooking show, each day of this week long camp will focus on one mystery ingredient. Using that item, cooking campers will make mouth-watering specialties, traditional favorites and explore new ingredients, tastes and combinations. Are you up to the challenge?

You Are What You Eat

We’ve all heard the old saying “you are what you eat”, but have you ever really thought about what it really means or how it affects you? In this camp we will decipher the health information on food packaging, learn the basics of proper nutrition and create healthy meals that will not only make us feel good but will taste good too!
