Strengthen Math Skills
8
Many kids struggle with challenging mathematical
skills such as adding fractions. In the camp
kitchen, opportunities to practice these critical
skills are everywhere.
9
For example, kids often have to add or multiply
fractions when they are increasing a recipe.
10
Weighing ingredients, converting between the
metric and imperial measuring systems and
calculating cooking times are all ways kids learn
math in the kitchen.
11
Experiment with Science
12
The science involved in the cooking process is
often overlooked, yet every recipe is a chance
for kids to learn about chemistry, physics and
nutrition.
13
From learning about the Maillard reaction as
they brown meat to using salt to lower the
freezing point of ice, kids will have fun while
also learning essential science concepts.
14
The best part about learning science in the
kitchen is that it is the one time when kids can
eat the final product.
15
Camp cooking classes also foster an environment
where they are more willing to try new foods and
learn about the importance of good nutrition for
their health.
16
Develop Greater Independence
17
Parents are often surprised at how much growing
up their kids do over the summer and cooking
classes at camp are a big part of them developing
more independence.
18
In the camp kitchen, kids are responsible for
prepping ingredients, cooking meals and cleaning
it all up afterwards.
19
Since everyone is required to help out, kids
naturally take on greater responsibilities that
give them a sense of pride.
20
Nurture Creativity and Self-Confidence
21
The difference between a regular cook and an
excellent chef is the ability to combine
ingredients into creative new recipes.
22
At summer camp cooking classes, kids have a safe
place where they can take risks with their
culinary skills. If a recipe doesnt work out,
all that is lost is a little time and a few
ingredients.
23
Yet, even a recipe that doesnt turn out right is
not a failure since kids learn from what went
wrong and go on to recreate the dish using their
findings.
24
Many new recipes have been created in a camp
kitchen and kids gain self-confidence when they
can share their signature dish with others.
25
Taking cooking classes at summer camp helps kids
round out their active schedule with an activity
that teaches skills they will use throughout
their lives.
26
While it may seem like a fun way to enhance the
typical campers menu, kids who take cooking
classes learn academic and social skills
27
that are best taught in the exciting and
interactive environment offered by the camp
kitchen.
28
From pulling apart fresh baked monkey bread to
making granola bars to share with friends on
the trail, each cooking class at summer camp is
always a new adventure.
