Camp Overview

More than anything, Operation C.H.E.F. summer camp is a ton of fun! With an in-kitchen camper to staff ratio of less than 6:1, it is also incredibly safe. Using organic produce and animal protein whenever possible and sourcing heavily from local farmer's markets, Operation C.H.E.F. is also extremely healthy. And with ALL NEW RECIPES for 2010, C.H.E.F. camp is a culinary adventure for campers new and old!

COOKING:

Cooking is what we are all about. Cooking is fun, cooking is healthy, and, let’s face it, cooking is cool. That’s why our campers are in the kitchen chopping, mixing, rolling and baking up a storm for close to three hours each day! Campers learn expert knife skills and cooking techniques from professional chefs, walking away with the confidence to prepare delicious, healthy meals for their family and friends at home.


NUTRITION:

 

Cooking is truly the first and most important step towards healthy eating. When cooking, you can be sure the food is fresh and local. Through interactive games, field trips, and videos, campers learn to maintain a healthy diet, decode food labels, and better understand the mysteries of nutrition. Campers gain valuable leadership skills and leave inspired to advocate for healthier food options!

ADVENTURE:

In addition to cooking in the kitchen, campers will also get to go behind the scenes at a local farm, market, or restaurant. They will know food and the food industry inside and out!
