Kids in the Kitchen: Culinary Arts Camp July 27–31, 2026
Join Dee of Dee's Catering for a fun week of hands-on cooking! Campers will create healthy, no-bake recipes featuring fresh fruits and vegetables while learning simple kitchen skills.
Kids will make and taste delicious treats like fruit pizza, fresh dips, no-bake chocolate pie, and more. They'll also design their own chef's apron and hat to wear during camp and take home.
Sign up now for a delicious week of creativity, nutritious food, and fun! Spots are limited.
(Dee has assured me that she understands cross contamination concerns and if we have campers with food allergies, i.e. peanut butter, gluten, etc., she'll rework her recipes so that all of the campers make pb or gluten free versions. Please list all food allergies on the registration form below. Thanks!)
For safety and consent, the registration form must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. Please submit a separate form for children living in different households.
