👩🍳 What a fun-filled week at Cooking Camp!
Our young chefs practiced kitchen skills, tried new recipes, and worked together to create delicious treats. This week also included a special visit from @huntingtonhelps where campers discovered that learning is fun! We explored life on the farm by making homemade butter, visited the farm at @snugharborccbg, enjoyed an energetic Irish dance lesson with Dawn Daniels, and wrapped up the week with an exciting trip to Egger`s. 🍀🍦
We hope you enjoy these snapshots from a week full of learning, laughter, and delicious memories
