***This camp has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We’ve teamed up with Rogue Valley Farm to School to offer three different camps this summer. Each week campers will dive into food production, preparation and exploration, with a mix of farm and kitchen experiences that delight the senses and inspire the soul. Join Rogue Valley Farm to School staff as they cultivate the ability to grow and cook delicious, healthy, seasonal meals. Monday - Wednesday at the Co-op Community Classroom, Thursday & Friday at the Farm at SOU.
August 13th-17th: Food Preservation Experimentation! From pickles to jam, fruit roll ups to kale chips this class will experiment with all kinds of ways to preserve the bounty of the summer harvest to create tasty treats you can enjoy throughout the year. Topics covered will include kitchen and food safety and cleanliness, canning, drying, fermenting, and more! Please send your child with a healthy, non-sugary lunch each day. Snacks will be provided, and campers will go home with a variety of homemade goods at the end of the week.
Ages 7-10
Other camp dates: June 18-22 or July 9-13
A limited number of scholarships are available for Jackson Care Connect members, who must register at the Info Desk. Scholarships are available for one session on a first come, first served basis.
Please note that we cannot issue refunds for missed classes or cancellations that are made within 48 hours of the class.
