School's Out Mini-Camps

 Embark on a delectable adventure with our food blogging class, where the art of capturing flavors and sharing culinary experiences comes to life! In this camp, we will travel on foot through Downtown Cary’s culinary landscape, tasting treats from various restaurants and bakeries. We’ll explore techniques for describing flavors, textures, and aromas, as well as translating dining experiences into compelling stories to share with other food lovers. We’ll also learn how to photograph food to create an irresistible visual component to enhance the narratives. 

The camp price includes all food from local eateries. If possible, please bring a phone or digital camera. We can provide this if needed! This camp involves walking in the Downtown Cary area, up to one mile total per day.

Tell a story in a new, artistic form by turning it into a board game! We'll choose genres and themes and create characters. Then we will envision character journeys as playable adventures with triumphs, setbacks, battles, and lucky strikes determined by spinners, cards, or dice. This is a great workshop for artsy kids, as we will be drawing game boards and sculpting game pieces. When we are finished, we'll spend some time playing each other's games!
