For the health and safety of all, we will be offering virtual/online-only camps this summer. This camp is not able to be offered in an online format and will be cancelled.
For our currently registered students, we will be contacting you directly via e-mail to see if you would like to transfer to one of our other camps being offered virtually. If not, we will process a full refund.
If you have questions about the new virtual camps, contact us at questions@georgiacenter.uga.edu.
Even top chefs once had to learn the basics of cookery. UGA's Culinary Skills Camp brings you the must-know skills that will take you from nervous novice to confident cook. You will learn the basics of cooking and baking inside a professional kitchen setting. Get ready as you will practice essential knife skills, master the fundamentals of kitchen safety, learn kitchen etiquette, better understand nutrition, and enhance your abilities through various food preparation techniques. By the end of the week, our students are bound to have a well-seasoned experience and the confidence to stir up a recipe or two at home for family and friends.
*All students will be required to taste products made unless there are food allergy or intolerance concerns.
