2019 Tween Summer Camps at the Greensboro Children's Museum
Summer camps for ages 11-14 are offered through GCM’s Cooking School and focus on cooking from scratch using local, seasonal ingredients — many from our half-acre garden. Campers will spend time in the garden and kitchen to gain a greater understanding of how food is grown and deepen their appreciation for the ingredients used. Each student receives personal attention and guidance from our knowledgeable teachers during the camp’s hands-on cooking instruction.
ages 11-14
