18 Reasons invites all aspiring teen cooks to join our summer Teen Culinary Immersion camp! The camp's curriculum is based on 18 Reasons’ mission of empowerment, creativity, sustainability, and community. The week long series is structured to give students the knowledge to confidently intuit their way through the kitchen and find meaning and value in the ingredients they work with, while also cooking from the comfort of their own home! Students will begin the series with an introduction to kitchen techniques and knife skills, then will progress through the various ways of cooking vegetables, meats, and baking, all while creating a lunch for themselves and their families throughout the whole week! The course culminates to an ultimate finale, where teams will have to apply all the skills they learned throughout the week to see which team can create the most delicious, creative, and successful spin off of a classic macaroni and cheese!
