All Plant Parts: Cooking and Gardening Camp

All Plant Parts Cooking and Gardening Summer Camp

18 Reasons and Flynn Elementary School are excited to announce All Plant Parts Cooking and Gardening Summer Camp. Perfect for the budding farmer and chef, this day camp will focus on the science and art of growing and cooking edible plants.  We will start with seeds and roots, make our way up stems and then out to leaves and flowers.  Each day campers will get their hands dirty both in the garden and the kitchen, and use lessons from both to make their snack and lunch.  That means all food is included at camp!

What: A five-day summer camp that teaches students about the science and art of growing and cooking food, from the root to the flower.

Who: entering 3rd-6th graders (ages 8-12)

When: June 1-5, 8:30AM - 3:00PM

Where: Flynn Elementary School, Cesar Chavez and Harrison St, San Francisco, CA

Cost: $325 ($300 for 18 Reasons members and for siblings), includes all snacks and lunches.

Note: All Plant Parts camp is part of an on-going relationship between 18 Reasons, Flynn Elementary School, and Education Outside. Together we are teaching kids how to enjoy growing, cooking and eating healthy and delicious food. To help make these lessons more accessible, we are offering 4 full scholarships to this camp to Flynn Elementary School students! These students will be selected by teachers and staff at the school.
