Camp Grow: Plant To Plate

Camp Grow: Plant To Plate

Presented by Jones Valley Teaching Farm at Jones Valley Urban Farm Gardens of Park Place

Plant to Plate:

Explore the journey of a seed, from the moment it’s planted in the ground to the minute it enters your kitchen as a fruit or vegetable! Campers will learn gardening skills, like sowing and harvesting, as they care for the crops on the Teaching Farm while building culinary skills by creating fun, seasonal snacks in the Culinary Studio daily.

Explore & Restore:

Join us on the farm as we explore our local and global ecosystem. Learn about what our environments need in order to thrive and how to help restore the environment.

Green Engineers:

Create your own garden or green space, using only recycled and repurposed materials! This camp is designed for campers who are interested in tinkering, building, and tapping into their creative side in order to learn how to grow their own food and use “green” resources to do so.

Kitchen Champs:

Let’s get creative in the kitchen! Have you ever wanted to make your own ranch dressing or make popcorn from scratch? Campers will be encouraged to expand their curiosity by taking items normally seen in their kitchens and giving them a new spin.

Community, Food, & You

It’s time to get excited about ALL THINGS FOOD – from growing it to cooking it to sharing it with others! In this two-week camp, Campers will explore the relationship between food and community while learning valuable gardening and culinary skills from local growers, chefs, and business owners. The camp will culminate with a Community Dinner planned by the campers and featuring signature dishes they have created, tested, and perfected.
