Each deck features a U-Shaped counter-top camper seating area making each seat a great seat, a teacher counter top in the center of the deck, plenty of extra counter space, sinks, water fountains and bathrooms. At the center of the cooking building is a full scale kitchen with commercial sinks, stoves, ovens, walk-in fridge, freezers and plenty of storage space. Each deck works with a set age range of camper.
We have developed a set curriculum for each cooking program. We always welcome new ideas, but the program is set so supplies can be ordered and ready for you. How you teach the program is up top you. There is a cooking coordinator who is there to help with any program issues, make sure orders are placed ahead of time, and brainstorm new ideas.
