Teen Summer Camp – Bright Chef
The Tamwood Bright Chef (TBC) program is a Tamwood designed program, based at Tamwood New York Summer Camp, designed to offer integrated learning opportunities for youth aged 15 to 17. TBC program is the key ingredient for creative and independent youth. This one-of-a-kind program is focused on providing a safe, inspiring, and empowering space for youth to identify, develop and refine their creativity and senses. Through joy, mindfulness and learning we are creating a foundation for a healthy camper through responsible eating choices: from scratch to consumption.
Students take part in 15 lessons per week in cooking, health and nutrition. Through these hands-on learning and discovery classes, students are provided with direct experiences that enable them to integrate their learning into the wider world and to make personal connections with different ingredients.
Food and Adventure
The Bright Chef Program focus on ingredients and techniques and teaches the fundamentals and basics to equip them with skills for life. Students will make their meals together, set their own place setting, and eat together when everything is ready. Then they will clean their stations and make sure they leave the kitchen tidy. This class will teach them how to make fabulous fare on their own!
