2018 Summer Camps
Chinese Cooking for Kids
Tie on your apron and learn the art Chinese Cooking! We will go to various Asian grocery stores by public transit and cut, saute, deep fry and steam dishes from all over China. Before setting out, students study maps, orienteering, and transit schedules.
In each store, students are tasked with communicating with staff to find the ingredients on our shopping list. At the end of each day parents enjoy a delectable sampling with their children. Campers must be experienced with knives and kitchen clean up.
Instruction in Mandarin or English with additional instruction as needed depending on the group's language level.
