PA 4-H Virtual Cooking Camp

The Food, Families, and Communities Educators will be leading this exciting 5-day (mornings only) camp. Youth will learn about food safety, nutrition, kitchen skills, and more! Participants will have the opportunity to make one recipe each day and participate in a cooking challenge on the final day. Adult supervision is required to work alongside youth during the camp. The camp meets July 21–25, 2025, from 9:00 AM–11:00 AM (virtually). Shopping lists will be emailed to participants one week prior to the start of camp, and campers will be responsible for obtaining recipe ingredients as well as required equipment. You can obtain all of these items to actively participate or if you can't find all the ingredients or equipment, campers can still join the camp! Participants can delete or substitute ingredients or just enjoy learning along with us.
