Outdoor Cooking For Kids

 Summers are always fun. And this summer, it became more meaningful as YMCA/JCC Wolf Creek held a Summer Culinary Camp. The week-long activity is spearheaded by Diana Jacobson, a family program director. She was supported by her highly-skilled staff. Jacobson also shared that the camp tackled the aspect of kitchen safety also as subjects like math and science and social grace and etiquette. Kids were the participants and they were divided into two groups. Children from the ages of 6 to 12 belonged to at least one group and youngsters from 10 to fifteen years old belonged to a different.

During the primary session with instructor Amy Tanner, she taught the youngsters the importance of cleanliness - not just with their selves but also within the cooking process. With nine girls and one boy as her little chefs, instructor Amy demonstrated the proper way of handwashing using warm water and soap. And after that, she taught them about putting on the hairnet to keep their hair from their eyes and from the food that they will prepare.

The organizers saw thereto that they're going to make daily activities interesting for the youngsters, so Jacobson made it to some extent that they might and cook different recipes every day.
Day one within the campsite was dedicated to cooking sugar cookies with chocolate as a topping which was something immensely delightful for the youngsters. They mixed the ingredients and stirred the batter in bowls. And on the second day, they prepared taco in bags.
Day three was a big day because it had been Outdoor Cooking Day. Organizers built a campfire for a more outdoor feel. It was a fun-filled day because the kids got the prospect to cook their marshmallows and hotdogs. Mrs. Tanner and day camp director Sarah Maidon discussed and demonstrated fire safety to the kids.
Day four was all about being healthy. It was themed Healthy versus Unhealthy, idler versus Exercising Outside. And the kids made "Worms on Dirt" and "Ants On a Log" like their activity. Gummy worms, Oreo cookies, pudding, spread, raisins, and celery were the ingredients that the youngsters used for the day's recipe.
Day five was about breakfast and its importance. Monkey bread, pancakes, and orange smoothies were the children's menu for breakfast.
Cooking is one of the foremost important skills one has got to learn not simply because you'll cook any recipe that you simply fancy, but also because people with cooking skills are one of the most in-demand right now. With these in mind, pass on that cooking prowess and let your children know the wonders of Dutch oven cooking
