UCann Cook Camps

 

During the summer UConn Dining holds two culinary camps for children aged 10-13. Each camp runs from 9am-4pm and is two days long. Camp 101 takes place on Monday and Tuesday and Camp 102 is on Thursday and Friday. A day at camp includes working one-on-one with our chefs and bakers to learn kitchen basics, food preparation, and how to create some tasty recipes. Each session also includes local field trips to UConn Dairy Bar/Creamery, UConn Bakery, or UConn Spring Valley Student Farm. Attendees will get a chef hat, apron, meals, and recipe booklet.

Previous kitchen experience is not required and you do not need to attend camp 101 to register for 102. Each camp occurs at Gelfenbien Commons dining hall on the UConn Storrs campus (easy access off Rt 195). Space is limited to around 20 participants in each session.

Camp details are announced in late March/early April. Look for details on this page or our social accounts @uconndining.
