Culinary Creators

Day Program
|
AGES 7-9

Do you love cooking over a stove, campfire, or open flame? Culinary Creators is an introductory, camping-style cooking program where young chefs learn the basics of outdoor food prep while creating tasty meals and treats. Campers will work in teams to take on friendly cooking challenges, experiment with a variety of ingredients, and present their dishes in fun, judge-style competitions. We’ll learn how to set up a functional camp kitchen using tarps, practice basic knot-tying, and safely use camp stoves during cooking. We’ll decorate our own aprons, practice safe and creative camp cooking techniques, and spend plenty of time outside with games, short hikes, and stand-up paddleboarding. With a strong focus on outdoor cooking, teamwork, and creativity, this program blends food, fun, and adventure into an unforgettable week.

A detailed daily itinerary will be provided to you on the Monday morning of the program.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
