Food & Gardening at Summer Camp with Oak Learners

by | Aug 23, 2023 | Camps

At Summer Camps, sometimes we really do get to live out our childhood dreams and play with our food!!!

Our very own garden was the classroom for this week! Campers explored how to plant & grow their own food and then prepare it for themselves, friends and family.

We learned WHERE our food comes from.

What is “sustainably sourced food” & HOW does it grow?!

We got our hands dirty & answered the questions!!

This week we created:

 

Healthy “freezies”!

Fruit Kabobs!

Smoothies: using a blender campers learned how to measure, mix, dice and blend!

Zucchini pizza bites: we plucked our very own zucchinis from the garden, diced them up and got to create our own little mini pizza bites!

Health-concious popsicles!

It’s fun to learn, play and then eat our very own creations!! Campers tried new foods & textures and learned to like and explore new tastes!
