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.
July 9th-13th: Food Science! This week of food fun will focus on learning about some of the science behind cooking. Campers will dive into scratch cooking with the mind of a scientist, testing hypotheses and recording results. From bread-baking to cheese making we will explore how scientific topics come to life in the kitchen and on the farm. Topics covered will include knife skills, kitchen and food safety and cleanliness, and how to conduct science experiments at home. Please send your child with a healthy, non-sugary snack each day. Lunch will be provided, prepared hands-on by the campers!
Ages 8-10
Other camp dates: June 18-22 or August 13-17
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.
