Our goal is to provide our youth with fundamental kitchen and garden skills they'll need as they grow. In our cooking camps, your child will gain knowledge ranging from food and kitchen safety to the art of baking from scratch, as well as, helpful home economics skills. They'll also have the opportunity to bring their creations home with them! By combining hands-on learning with creative expression and outdoor exploration, Under the Green Umbrella Summer Camp offers an engaging experience that empowers campers to develop lifelong skills and a deeper appreciation for food, gardening, and home economics. If you are interested in making a donation to Flavors & Flowers Kids Camp Scholarship Fund to help another camper, please follow the link to our GoFundMe.
