UCann Cook Camps

 

During the summer, UConn Dining holds two culinary day camps for children aged 10-13. Each camp is two days and runs from 9am-4pm. 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, creating and eating tasty recipes, and a local field trip. Local field trips include UConn Dairy Bar, UConn Bakery, or UConn Spring Valley Student Farm. Attendees will get a chef hat, apron, meals, and a recipe booklet.

Each camp occurs at Gelfenbien Commons dining hall (3384 Tower Loop Rd) on the UConn Storrs campus (easy access off Rt 195/Storrs Rd). Space is limited to around 20 participants in each session.
