This week long summer camp is for the food lover in your life that is creative in the kitchen and loves an adventure.

Each day we will consist of a field trip to one of our area’s culinary enriched destinations. We will spend the morning touring the site, tasting the wonderful offerings and gathering our ingredients. The afternoon will see us back in the kitchen creating delicious dishes from scratch. The week will culminate with a lunch hosted by the students. Each camper can invite 2 guests to enjoy their week's creation.

This year, our summer culinary adventure camp will focus on ingredients that can found in our own back yard. From harvesting locally grown organic vegetables, from digging clams to, touring a local cheese making farm, then making our own cheese - this will be a true "eat local" week.

Why is eating locally an important habit to teach our children?

Eating locally grown food helps in the fight against global warming - eliminates gas costs to ship foods.
Eating locally helps the local economy and leads to responsible land development.
Even when not organic, smaller farms use less chemicals then factory farms.
Local foods are fresher and they simply taste better!
