Chef Camp is an all-inclusive adult summer camp which offers chef-led cooking classes, foraging classes and traditional summer camp activities like canoeing and archery. We think they’re a fantastic organization and we wanted to help.
As a warm up for this years’ camps, they invited friends and family to a dedication for the camp’s new pizza oven. Epicurean was invited and we dropped off some pizza tools and boards to help celebrate.
Chef Camp will soon have two weekend-long camps coming up; September 01-03 and September 08-10. Check out their web site to register!
Also, check out our pizza tool section if you want to grab any of the tools you’ve seen here.
