Our Summer Day Camp program is a fun way to "Sprout the Chef” within each participant with day camp sessions running from 9am to 3pm Mondays to Fridays throughout the summer months of July and August. Sprouting Chefs is a community based company offering 3 different levels of cooking programs for children and youth ages 8 to 15. Recipes are seasonal and inspired by local growers including UBC Farms and Whole Foods Capers Market.
