Summer Cooking Camp with Carolima's

We are thrilled to provide our summer cooking camp after a 5 year hiatus! We've had so many parents and their children asking about the camp over the past few years and we are ready to train our young chefs and have some fun at the same time.  Registration is now open and we will host 2 sessions for age groups 8-12 and 13-17. We're accepting young chefs with no experience as well as those who are familiar with the kitchen.  We will assign duties based on their cooking experience. 

What to expect:  Your young chef will spend 5 days learning about the Gullah Geechee culture as well as preparing menu items derived from the African diaspora.  They will learn how to prepare dishes like Charleston Red Rice which has a direct correlation to Jollof Rice and so much more. They will also learn fundamentals such as knife skills, how to measure, how to use essential kitchen utensils, how to set a table properly and more. At the end of each session lunch will be served from the items prepared in the kitchen that day. 

What is included: The registration fee includes daily instruction from our Executive Chef and Pastry Chef, Sameka and 'Emma along with our Education Specialist, Rethmiriam. It also includes all food and materials needed to prepare the menu items daily. Young Chefs will be issued a keepsake apron and a certificate of completion at the end of the week.
